Becoming a less focused person is another thing that can happen when you keep your procrastination habit. One of the factors that causes procrastination is a lack of focus. The ability to focus is important to keep our productivity going. When a person is unfocused or getting distracted by other things, they'll lose their train of thought easily. Also, when a person is already drowned in a good feeling of procrastination they will immediately choose an easy task(procrastinating) over a hard task(actually doing the task). This is the same as eating junk food over healthy food. You might feel good at the beginning but what happens afterward may not be as good as the beginning.

Losing opportunities is the worst effect when you keep your procrastination habit. We all know that opportunity only comes once, the second is only for the really lucky person. As I said before, putting off work until the other time oftenly may keep us deprived of the benefits, which might have accrued to us from having been done. Opportunity lost once is lost forever. There is no guarantee that the circumstances will stay the same. It may change and you may lose your goals because you missed the opportunity. Â

Of course there are a lot more negative effects when you keep procrastinating. Procrastination is a normal part of life for us, but I believe no one wants to keep their procrastination habit. We must ask ourselves whether we actually realize the dangers of procrastination. When you already realize that, you can overcome procrastination pretty easily. Another way to stop procrastinating is to turn a difficult and threatening task into smaller steps. If a task or task is too difficult, we often put it off and do something else first that might be wasting our time. But if the work is depleted, we can deal with it one step at a time.

In short, procrastination is rooted by many factors. Procrastination also has many bad effects. However, procrastination can still be removed by using my tips above or the other tips. The difference between a successful person and unsuccessful person is that while the successful person is doing their task, the unsuccessful person procrastinates. I think that's all from me, stay focused and keep on grinding.
