The 8 Ways How Procrastination Ruins Your Life

PROCRASTINATION
– A word we are too familiar with.

“Ah! Mamaya ko nalang ito gagawin!”

“Bukas nalang! Marami pa namang time!” o kaya,

“Tiyaka ko na ito gagawin kapag sinipag na ako!”

Pamilyar ka bas a mga salitang ito?
o NAPAKA PAMILYAR TALAGA dahil halos araw-araw mo itong sinasabi sa iyong sarili? 😊

Alam ko na alam mo ang maaaring mangyari o ang epekto ng mga simpleng desisyon na ito.

Pweding ma missed natin ang mga importante o mahahalagang bagay sa takdang panahon o ang isang napaka potensyal na pagkakataon na pweding makapag pabago ng iyong buhay.

Hindi lamang iyon, pwedi din itong maging dahilan kung bakit may mga taong gustong sumuko.
But despite how unfortunate that sounds, procrastination affects our lives in far more damaging ways.

In this blog, we’ll show you how procrastination ruins your life and I hope after reading this you can break free from the bubbles of “ I’ll do it later or next week!”

#1 In Procrastination, Every Decision You Make Takes Longer

Kapag nag-procrastinate ka, mas tumatagal ang bawat desisyon na gagawin mo.

Iyon ay dahil palagi mong hinuhulaan ang iyong sarili at iniisip kung tama ang iyong pinili.

Ang pag-aalinlangan na ito ay maaaring humantong sa pagkabalisa at stress, na maaaring magkaroon ng negatibong epekto sa iyong kalusugan.

#2 You End up Stuck

When you procrastinate, you end up putting things off until it’s too late.

Maaari nitong sirain ang iyong mga pagkakataong na maging successful, as well as your relationships. Alright, also not to mention, it can also lead you to health problems and financial ruin.

So, what can you do about it?

Una…
Deep breath.

Hindi naman siguro kasayangan na magpahinga o mag nilay-nilay ng isang araw lalo na kung tungkol ito sa iyong peace of mind, tama ba? 😊
As long as you’re working hard, the outcome should be positive.

Pangalawa…
Mag set ng isang deadline para sa iyong sarili at kapag natapos mo na lahat ng ito, treat yourself!

Pwedi mong gawin ito lalo na kung natapos mo ang tasks on time. 😊

And last…
Hindi ko naman sinasabi na tama o gagana ito sa lahat ng bagay pero… tell someone about your goals!

Friends or Family are an excellent support system who will keep you accountable and help remind you why it’s important to stay on task!

#3 TO-DO Lists Take Longer to Complete

If you’re constantly putting things off, your to-do list will only get longer and more daunting.

This can lead to even more procrastination.
Hindi lang ito nakakadismaya, ngunit maaari rin nitong iparamdam sa iyo na wala kang kontrol sa iyong buhay. Hindi ka magiging productive sa isang araw.
 
Kapag nagpapaliban ang iyong Gawain. Magkakaroon ka ng mas kaunting oras upang tapusin ang mga ito, kaya as usual, aabutin ka ng oras and ofcourse, the time spent on the task will likely be low quality as well, since anxiety makes it difficult for people to focus or perform at their best.

#4 Self-Esteem Suffers

One of the main ways procrastination ruins your life is by destroying your self-esteem.

When you put off doing something, you are essentially telling yourself that you’re not good enough to do it. This can lead to a spiral of negative thinking that can be hard to break out of.

#5 You Worry About What Others Think

You constantly worry about what others think of you and whether or not you’re good enough.

Ito ay nauuwi sa procrastinations, dahil ayaw nating ilagay ang ating mga sarili doon at  tayo ay natatakot mag fail.

Mas gusto natin sa ating mga comfort zone, kung saan tayo ay safe.

But the truth is, worrying about what others think is a waste of time.

No one is thinking about you as much as you think they are. And even if they are, who cares? Their opinion doesn’t matter.

#6 You Get Angry At Yourself for Not Doing Anything

When you procrastinate, you get angry at yourself for not doing anything.

Pakiramdam mo ay nag aaksaya ka lang ng iyong oras.

Pwedi mong gamitin ang mga nasasayang na mga oras na iyon para lalo mo pang pagbutihin ang iyong sarili, pero sa halip, ikaw lang ay nakaupo sa paligid at walang ginagawa.

#7 You Feel Like Failure

When you procrastinate, you often feel like a failure.

Pakiramdam mo, kung sanang nag simula ka kaagad, nagsimula ka lang ng mas maaga o nagtrabaho ng mas maigi, you would be further along than where you are now.

This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and frustration.

#8 You Get Frustrated Easily

We often procrastinate because we’re afraid of failing.

We tell ourselves that we’ll do the task later when we’re feeling more motivated or when we have more time. But by putting off the task, we’re only setting ourselves up for failure.

I hope this blog hits you to do better and be kind to yourself.

Remember this:
“Don’t let procrastination take over your life, be brave and take risks.
Your life is happening right now.”
