Here are three hidden dangers of procrastination and how you can avoid procrastination. 1. You waste opportunities. When you keep promising things you'll never do, you could destroy your reputation, thus making it difficult for you to get promoted or gain more business opportunities. When you procrastinate once, you're almost likely to procrastinate again. If that happens too often, you may keep losing integrity and forfeiting your chance to be dependable. Once you are in danger of being reputed as untrustworthy, you would continue to slide down the ladder of success and may not be able to climb back up. Procrastination when it becomes a habit could endanger your ability to stretch yourself thin to become all that you really would like to become. You could look back years later and find out how you blew opportunities in your 20s or 30s. Opportunities you could have used to build up your life for success. 2. You endanger your health. Procrastination leads to stress, anxiety and depression. When you chronically put off what you should be doing, you're silently demotivated to do the work again. When what you should have done remains undone, it makes you anxious and could make you stressed. This could in turn affect other areas of your life and often it leads to depression and low self-esteem, including making poor decisions in life. Stress has been linked to various debilitating health conditions and procrastination heightens your chances of undue stress and anxiety. The more you ignore what you ought to be doing, the more likely you are to keep yielding to stress and anxiety and the more endangered your health becomes. Know that procrastination like any habit may be tough to break, but if you deal with it early and start to do what needs to be done, you'll be fulfilled, joyful and more relaxed every time. The less you are susceptible to stress, the more productive and lively you'll become. 3. You could ruin your life. The more you procrastinate, the less powerful and motivated you are to take actions. The more you'll keep waiting for good things to happen to you by chance. And the longer you'll keep waiting because good things don't happen by chance. And the more you keep waiting for good things to happen to you without your requisite efforts, the more prone you are to failures, worries, depression and a life of abject discomfort. Procrastination makes you wish you could turn back the hands of time so you can rectify past mistakes to straighten out your present and future. Procrastination removes from you all that you could have become and achieved in your life. And it's not a foe, you should keep any closer. How do you overcome procrastination?
