When procrastinating...

  • you avoid urgent tasks.
  • you spend time on useless things.
  • you don't rest, nor regain energy.

And then...

  • you fall behind and get stressed.
  • you regret losing your precious time.
  • you feel miserable and tired.

...but why?


Decision Paralysis

  • Too many options and paths to choose from!
  • What if I choose the wrong one?
  • Should I try the other one?

Deciding on anything hurts. Let's not do it right now.


Ok, now what?
