The psychology of procrastination:

                Hello, there readers. This is your thamizh back with another interesting content of the day. Every one of us in this world is working towards achieving something in life. All are working towards their ultimate goal. The biggest thing which pulls back us from achieving our goals is "Procrastination".  Let's talk about the science and psychology behind this so-called hated habit known by humankind.

The science behind procrastination:

                When a task is felt heavy or makes you feel insecure about that task. It creates a negative impression about yourself on how you would perform that task in your mind subconsciously. This feeling of shame and insecurity is caused by your "Amygdala, " a neuron involved in emotional processing. 

                Due to this, our brains secrete hormones like adrenaline and thus creating a sensation of panic. To act upon it our "prefrontal cortex" creates a remedy to escape from that task. These add-up thoughts create "stress" which we do not want to feel. So, we switch to procrastinating on the task instead of working on it.

Disorders and issues caused by prolonged procrastination habit:

Psychological tips to stop procrastination:

• Learn time management skills because time management creates a clear vision of completing your tasks. Start by recording what you do in a day-by-hour table, which means you are documenting what you have done every single hour (24 hours). Use applications like Google Calendars and Notion for easy tracking.

• Filter your task based on priority because we can't complete all of our tasks in time randomly. It becomes halfway easy when you know how much time is your task gonna cost you to finish it. So according to your deadlines plan your task for productivity.

• Address the elements that cause negative emotions or thoughts in you. Understand that 20% is nature and 80% is nurture. The environment around you directly or indirectly creates an impact on your character. So change your surroundings with like-minded people who are positive about their lives. You will never regret doing this because I have experienced this in my life, and it worked for me.

• Break your task into small sub-tasks to make it feel easier and more comfortable. Consider each subtask as a game level. As you reach each level reward yourself with a rest time of your choice but be wise with your rewards(Don't get distracted).

• Start gratitude journaling. This gratitude journaling is different from normal journaling. Here write down 5 things for which you are grateful for the day. Writing these things will improve your positive vibe in the mind. We cannot complete all the tasks that we planned for the day, which is uncertain because no one knows what happens in a day. So, be grateful for what you have accomplished in a day.

conclusion:

                I hope this would help you all to stop procrastination day by day and achieve your goals and live a peaceful confident life to the fullest.
