Is procrastination preventing you from being the successful person that you should be? Is the statement "I'll get it done tomorrow" becoming your daily mantra? Although it seems harmless to put off activities until you feel like doing them, the problem is that they all add up and before you know it, procrastination becomes “hardwired” as a long-term mindset
If you are the type of person that takes action and creates time to handle your responsibilities, then procrastination should not be an issue. However, for most people who become stressed and seem to never be able to catch up, they are the ones that never really "get back to it" when the time comes. You will find another reason to put the job off and once again that same old habit of "I'll get it done tomorrow" kicks in.

It's Tough To Admit...
I realize that some of you are reading this article and answering these questions to yourself are getting that "light bulb" moment. In other words, unless you truly look at yourself and are totally honest about the problem you have with procrastination, it is extremely easy to overlook the issue and never consider for once just how much further ahead in life you would be if you paid closer attention to your habits. Sometimes all it takes is one simple little article like this one that opens your eyes to an entire possibility you never knew existed.
Let us further give you some more questions to think about in order to help you realize that you are shortchanging yourself from living the life you should be due to procrastination. Below are a few more questions that should give you enough reason to start changing your bad habits and start taking responsibility today:
1. How many times did you put off a project at work that could've gotten you a raise in pay, more admiration from your colleagues, or the opportunity to move up the ladder of success?
2. When you look at yourself in the mirror and are unhappy with your physical shape and health, what daily habits could you have started months, or even years ago, that would have drastically improved your well-being? Why not start today?
3. Take stock of your atmosphere. How does it make you feel? Is your house cluttered because you keep putting off organization tasks? Is the inside of your car a mess? If these things do not seem important to you, I dare you to spend just one day cleaning and fixing everything up in your atmosphere. You'll be surprised by how much energy and motivation a neat and organized surrounding can give you.
