Procrastination Ruins The Dream
An act of Escapism done by every human is PROCRASTINATION. Escapism in a way to avoid stress by scrolling through social media continuously in a static position. Procrastination is a negative weapon inside our brain that stops us from taking action towards our dream. Procrastination generates fear in the mind of a human when they try something new.
Entrepreneurs have to go through this a lot because they have to try and implement new things and take decisions. Usually, a human becomes a procrastinator when he/she/they thinks about the process to complete the assigned task. That process of the assigned task gives them stress. Stress turns into procrastination. During procrastination time, humans use social media as a distraction to avoid stress. Therefore, a procrastinator gets fully hyped up to complete the work only before the last few minutes of the deadline. The cycle goes on and on repeatedly.
Task---------> Thinking about the process----------> Stress------------> Procrastination----------> Hurry bury work completion.
Now comes the most interesting effect of Procrastination - "DELUSION". A delusional mindset kills the productivity level. This mindset lies inside the human brain. It's not okay for an entrepreneur or anyone to be a procrastinator. It ruins your dream like a slow poison by giving temporary happiness. Don't fall for this mirage (so-called temporary happiness). This so-called temporary happiness is Procrastination combined with social media in today's age.
