Do you often think, ‘I wish I had done it before?’ Do you have any habit that you know that she is harming you, yet you are not able to leave it? If yes, then this article is for you only. Our habits decide our future, and some habits are such that if they are not changed in time, they can become a lifetime of life.

Why is ‘postponing tomorrow’ is so dangerous?
We all avoid things at some time, whether to pay the bill, send an important email, or go to the gym. But when it becomes a regular pattern, it can have a serious negative effect on your productivity, mental health and even physical health.
Eminent psychologists and life coaches explain that proaculation is not just lazy; This is often the result of stress, fear of failure, or considering the task too large. This creates a vicious cycle: you avoid, then stress increases, and you avoid further.
Disadvantage
Increasing stress and anxiety: When you avoid work, the pressure to do everything at the last moment increases, which increases the level of stress and anxiety.
Opportunate opportunities: Missing important deadline or allowing opportunities go by hand, just because you did not take timely action.
Bad effect on health: Stress can cause problems such as sleeplessness, irregularity in food and lack of physical activity.
Relationships crack: Personal and professional relationships may lack trust when you do not meet your commitments.
Reduction in self-esteem: Repeatedly postponing work and failure reduces your self-esteem and you start feeling disabled.
Change this habit today: Expert advice
Some effective strategies that you can break this habit and live a more productive and satisfied life:
Start with small steps (Break it down): “Any big task may seem scary to see,” “break it into small, managed pieces. For example, if you want to write a report, first make a goal to do just ‘research’, then to make ‘outline’. “
‘The two-minute rule’ (The Two-Minute Rule): If a work takes less than two minutes to complete, do it immediately. For example, responding to an email, washing dirty utensils, or making a small call. This will not pile up the work.
Deadline decide (set deadlines): Set realistic but firm deadline for yourself. If possible, tell a friend or family member about your deadline, so that accountability remains.
The most difficult task should be done first (eat the frog): As soon as you wake up in the morning, do the work you want to avoid the most. Once you complete it, the rest of the day feels light and confidence increases.
Eliminate distractions from social media and phone: Keep your phone away while working, close social media notifications, and work in a calm environment.
Reward yourself: When you complete a work on time, give yourself a small reward. This will also inspire you in the future.
Embrace Imperfection): Often people avoid because they want the work to be perfect. Remember, ‘Good’ is often better than ‘Uttam’, especially when it is to complete the work.
Your future in your hands
Pledge to change your habit today. It will not be easy, but every small step will take you to the life you want to live – without regrets, more productive and happy. Remember, “tomorrow” never comes, what is “today”.
