Speech is conveniently located midway between thought and action, where it often substitutes for both.
~John Andrew Holmes
Procrastination, like so many things, is a habit. A habit most people seemingly love to or can’t help indulging in. Hm… reminds me of chocolate… But this is great news! It’s not hard to break a habit.
Procrastination actually causes more discomfort than doing the actual task. While procrastinating, we anticipate an unpleasant/boring/difficult task, and the mind has already created and is living through a difficult situation. It’s non-productive to virtually torture yourself this way, as doing the actual task will cause less pain.
