Have you ever used these excuses for your

procrastination habit?

▪ You claim to have lots and lots of work so you make the excuse that’s it’s only natural to have some things wait on the back burner and thus those things end up being done at the last minute.

▪ You love the energy of the last minute working schedule, this is where you are driven almost entirely by rush of a looming deadline.

▪ You want to look as if you are busy to others, when all that you have really done is to wait until the last minute instead of doing things little by little throughout your deadline.

You usually meet your deadline, but it’s usually with stress and relief

Don’t fret…

A lot of people are guilty

of waiting until the last

minute to do something

important. So what can

you do to combat this bad?

Using incentives aren’t as bad as we used to think.

Try a bribe, but one that is meaningful to you or find creative ways to punish yourself.

Examples could include: cleaning your house or apartment, not going out for drinks with friends, or limiting your weekly spending on your favorite foods or treats.
