Procrastination

Are you always feeling like time is just too short and everything you do is like rushed? Then you are most likely procrastinating. For most of us, procrastination is subconscious. We do not choose to avoid a task intentionally; rather it just sorts of “happens.” Why do we procrastinate? If your brain tells you, “this will never happen” or “you will probably fail anyway” that is your ego talking and creating doubt. By creating doubt, your brain is prompted to release certain chemicals much like those when you experience pain. This makes you feel better and the memory of that pain (albeit imagined and minor) is smoothed over and pushed into short term memory where it can be promptly forgotten about. In contrast, when we are productive or successful our brains release altogether different chemicals that evoke happiness. It's the anticipation of these happiness chemicals that make us crave success and completion, the issue is that the pain of our own ego is getting in the way. This book co
