It is important to overcome procrastination for maintaining good mental health, as it prevents the buildup of stress, anxiety, and self-doubt that often accompanies the perpetual postponement of important tasks.
“The act of delaying or putting something off is how procrastination is often understood,” says Saisha Shivakumar, Delhi-based counselling psychologist. At the same time, you are also engaging with something else that is not a priority, and is a distraction.
Overcoming procrastination involves delving deeper into why we are doing it, sitting with the difficult emotions associated with the task, and practising self-compassion.
In conclusion, it is indeed a challenging yet attainable feat. By implementing these strategies, we can navigate the complexities of procrastination with greater resilience and efficacy.
