The Top 5 Reasons We Procrastinate
We’ve all been there…watching the calendar as a deadline gets closer and closer. But why do we do it to ourselves? As hour zero approaches you may ask, “why didn’t I start this sooner?” According to Yahoo.com, there is likely an explanation. Here are the top 5 most likely causes to why you procrastinate:
- Delusions About Deadline Pressure: Maybe you think you work best when it’s close to your deadline? It still turns out that people make more mistakes when working under a time crunch.
- Fear of Failure: If you’re afraid of letting yourself or someone else down it can lead to procrastination.
- Fear of Success: Maybe if you do an awesome job you’ll have a lot more responsibilities? Just as much as failure, success can be a motivator for procrastinating.
- Perfectionism: Somehow wanting everything to be perfect can still lead people to wait till the last moment.
- Poor Time Perception: You may believe something is going to take you a lot less time than it actually will.
