Do you find it hard to get motivated to tackle complicated projects at home or work?
Do you feel overwhelmed when looking at your to do list and end up avoiding the tasks all together?
Do you feel remorse and guilt for not completing what you had set out to do?
Do you struggle with repetitive habits that interfere with your activities and obligations?
Do you frequently experience urges to pull your hair, pick your skin or bite your nails to the point that you cannot accomplish tasks?
Do you wish you could stop yourself from overeating or smoking but are reluctant to give up the comfort or enjoyment of these activities?
If you can identify with any of these questions, you are likely dealing with procrastination or another habit. Procrastination is a problem commonly underestimated by those who have a tendency to eternally postpone. However, research has shed light on the significant impact of those who are unable to readily engage in and complete tasks. People who procrastinate tend to live below their full potential. They have a hard time engaging in complicated projects, usually experience dissatisfaction with their jobs, and tend to be bypassed for job promotions. Furthermore, these people tend to be critical of themselves and experience emotional distress.

You believe that you will never have enough motivation to tackle difficult projects and tasks.
