When you often or occasionally put things off, it probably means that what you are putting off is that thing you choose not to do at that particular time. It may not be a problem, depending on its frequency.
However, when it becomes habitual in a lifestyle, it may suggest conflict.
It could mean fear of success or a fear of failure. Being successful may mean that you could be in danger of not being liked by people or others getting resentful and jealous of your success. One may also be afraid of reaching higher goals being set and then will be deemed a failure rather than attempt to reach these goals set for him.
Procrastination keeps you stuck as it does not give you space to confront life's opportunities, thus missing out on what could be very enjoyable and gratifying. You could identify the purpose your procrastination meant for you.
To help in this process, ask yourself questions. "What will happen if I do not procrastinate? " what possibilities will be there for me? ". Once you come to the knowledge of these questions. Then there is a chance of moving forward.
But the problem is how to get it going. It would be easy if simple goals are set in the beginning. Give yourself a task and spread out, taking them one after the other. This could be done by giving yourself half an hour to the task and when there is progress, add up the hour to do the task, don't forget to be alert on the distractions around.
You could reward yourself for a job well done by getting yourself that which could make you do more task.
As they say " procrastination is a thief of time" so do not let your precious time to be stolen.
