Why Procrastination Is Bad

Why Procrastination Is Bad

When you procrastinate, you might feel better in the short-term, but you will suffer in the long-term.

Procrastination may lead to:

  • Depression
  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Low self-esteem
  • Irrational beliefs
  • Low self-confidence

Procrastination is not innocent behaviour. It is a sign of poor self-regulation.
