Why Do You Procrastinate?

Why Do You Procrastinate?

Understanding why you are not working on something can help you to manage it.  Piers Steel, who wrote The Procrastination Equation states that procrastination occurs for three distinct reasons:

1.      Lack of self-confidence to achieve a goal.

2.      Not interested in the task.

3.      Distracted by impulsive behavior.

According to Steel, if you do not value or expect that you will achieve your goal, you are more likely to procrastinate in some aspect of it.  If you are influenced by short-term gratifications, you can also be distracted from reaching your goal.  These distractions steal time away from what you should be working on and cause you to lose productivity and motivation.
