1. Perfectionism

According to me Perfectionism means repeated hard work and experience. The problem with you is that from your first day you want to become perfect and because of this desire you procrastinate in your work because you are afraid about the results, you think about the quality of your work.

But remember Perfectness comes with practice. You can check this fact anywhere. You can check the first video of any youtuber and then the latest one, and you see a lot of difference.

Sometimes our brain feels lazy to do bigger tasks and then we start procrastinating. The best solution is to break your larger task into a number of small tasks and say to your brain that you have to do just this little task.

For Example- If you want to go for a jogging in the early morning and your mind and body feel laziness and tired, so the best solution is divide your work like (1) first is just wake up early in morning, (2) just wear shoes, (3) just go for a walk, (4) Walk for 1KM. In this way, divide your work and complete each little task and appreciate yourself when you finish each task, so you get Motivation to do another. In this way without overthinking you finish your bigger task easily.

3. Love the Work

You have to ask a Question to yourself- Are you procrastinating every time and in everything?

The Answer you Get is NO. Because you are not procrastinating when you are playing, when you are using social media and when you are doing time pass things, You are always ready to do these tasks and this makes your mindset an entertainment seeking mindset. And when your brain doesn’t find entertainment in your work then your brain starts procrastinating.

The Solution is

In Geeta Lord Krishna Said to Arjun, “ An intelligent person is one who can understand the difference between necessary and unnecessary work.

So learn this fact, entertainment is good but for a limit and do the work which is important for your life and career.

First find out what is important then love that work, because Sadhguru says that if you don’t love your work then why the hell you are doing that?

Apart from Procrastination there are also some Habits that kill your Goals.
