How poor emotion management sabotages our productivity

A few observations about emotion management and productivity:

  1. Mindlessness or a lack of self-awareness is always Enemy Number 1.
  2. The mind will always resist challenging work. It doesn’t mean something’s wrong.
  3. Procrastination provides a quick relief from the uncomfortable emotion generated by critical self-talk.
  4. Procrastination is a form of impatience that says if you’re not succeeding right away that means it’s hopeless.
  5. Procrastination isn't a disease or a character flaw, it is a natural answer of our mind as a result of doing challenging work.
