Advantages of Not Procrastinating
- Getting tasks done quicker, which also equals to less stress.
- Procrastination often goes unpunished. Not being punished for something you know is "bad behaviour", is like an invitation to do it again.
- You get to put off unpleasant tasks in favour of more enjoyable things.
- Procrastinators tell lies to themselves. Such as, "I'll feel more like doing this tomorrow." Or "I work best under pressure." But in fact they do not get the urge the next day or work best under pressure. In addition, they protect their sense of self by saying "this isn't important."- Procrastinators actively look for distractions, particularly ones that don't take a lot of commitment on their part.
