Dear readers, do you know what is the global problem of our generation?
This is not computers and other electronic gadgets, not a lot of inaccessible temptations, and not even globalization, coupled with poor radiation. ..
The disease of the 21st century, which has taken on the epidemic, is the most harmful habit of to postpone business for later .

Well, now I do not need to tell you how tomorrow you'll just wake up and rush to clean the apartment, finish the article, finish the dressing and do everything that was too lazy to finish today.
Yes, I agree that there are situations when there is no strength left or does not allow the state of health to fulfill all the planned for the day. There are things that are just better done in the morning, on a fresh head.
Here, for example, I always try to write articles in the evening, and read them only the next day.
During the night you rest from the written and uninjured eye you begin to see mistakes and tutors.
And we're talking about people who are postponing things into a habit that begins to harm, both to themselves and to others.
Congratulations, you are sick with procrastination!
Procrastination. What it is?
Yes, your bad habit has a scientific name.
The term " procrastination " first appeared in specialized foreign literature as far back as 1977.
Since then, this phenomenon is studied in detail by European and American psychologists.
And here in Ukraine and in Russia this problem is not dealt with, but readers of my site are lucky, thanks to this article they will find out what is fraught with the permanent postponement of cases and how to deal with it.
Reasons for procrastination
- Fear of failure.
- The rebellious nature: the phrase "Do it today" you perceive as limiting your freedom.
- Unconscious self-restraint: you forbid yourself to become rich and successful.
- Misunderstanding the rapidity of the passage of time.
- Perfectionism - it seems to you that tomorrow you will cope with this work much better than today.
- Irresponsibility and idleness, as features of your character.

I have an acquaintance, let's call him Vasya.
It can be safely called a lucky one, somehow everything is given to him easily and without much strain: entry to the institute first, and then to graduate school with a scholarship payment, the combination of three works on which he does nothing, the connivance of the elderly bosses fascinated by himinnocent look, and much more.
He would have achieved tremendous success in life long ago, if not for one bad habit - to postpone all important matters not even for tomorrow, but in general for an indefinite period.
Naturally, sooner or later all the unsettled cases and problems were hit by an avalanche on the head of Vasya's stupid and the period of free success in his life ended.
Constant deferral of cases is fraught with serious consequences.
Sooner or later you will not have time to finish yesterday's and the day before yesterday's affairs and you'll be trashy or just ignoring them.
And each unfulfilled task - a reprimand from the boss, a quarrel with her husband / wife, resentment of parents, a lack of understanding of friends and other problems.
