Procrastinating to Realization

We procrastinate because we overvalue the present and undervalue the future.

We’re drawn to instant gratification. Sitting on the couch and watching TV is instantly enjoyable. Getting into shape at the gym takes a long time.

We not do understand the future consequences of our actions. We feel like skipping the gym today is a small thing. We don’t realize that tomorrow we’ll have the same excuses, we’ll never end up going.

We defeat procrastination by realizing:

If I do not take action today, then I will never achieve my dreams for tomorrow.
