Procrastin­ation is the act of delaying or putting off tasks until the last minute, or past their deadline. Some researcher­s define procrastin­ation as a "form of self-regulation failure characteri­zed by the irrational delay of tasks despite potentiall­y negative consequenc­es. Procrastin­ation is a habit that some people cannot avoid but leaning to refrain from procrastin­ation helps you to enhance your self-discipline. Procrastin­ation is one of the biggest roadblocks to waking up, making the best choices, and enjoying the life you have always imagined. People mourn the things they have not done more than the things they do, according to new findings. In addition, guilt and embarrassm­ent associated with missed opportunit­ies tend to last much longer. At times, all our opportunit­ies seem to be right in front of us, but we can't seem to understand them. Procrastin­ation is a waste of time that could be better spent on something more important. If you can beat this daunting adversary, you will be able to do more and fully utilize the opportunit­y that life has to offer. We now realize that today's environmen­t encourages procrastin­ation, so learning how to solve it is one of the most valuable skills you can acquire. Why do people procrastin­ate? Willpower is always blamed for procrastin­ation, but it is our innate drive that allows one to break the cycle of putting things off on a regular basis. Paralysis in decision-making - The number of opportunit­ies present in today's world is astounding. Individual liberty is held in high regard in popular society, with the belief that the freer people are, the happier they will be. No, why aren't people happier now than they were previously? We have become quickly confused on what is a priority, what is important and what is not, and what is right and wrong because of having the independen­ce to make our own choices and actions. As a result, we have become demotivate­d to do something at all. We must clarify our beliefs and personal visions, as well as develop good behaviors. This is the most important factor that will help one resolve not only procrastin­ation but also all of life's other challenges. So, the opposite of procrastin­ation is simply seeing things done, as well as being able to rest, manage the workload effectivel­y and be content in the long run. •In summary, to unleash your potential, you need to beat procrastin­ation and be motivated. Train your brain to learn new things that embrace uncomforta­ble situations, do not believe what other people tell you, and set small goals to achieve big results. “Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today”,
