Last year around October, Anurag wrote a post on\u00a0procrastination<\/a> and it hit my head like one hits nail with hammer.\u00a0 In his post, he has covered every part of\u00a0procrastination in details, go ahead and read it.<\/p>\n

This post is about my\u00a0procrastination habit and how it has screwed most part of me. I realized i was suffering from this disease from early days of my life and I think I am not the only one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And it took me sometime to realize what is going on here. There were some action items or things i so desperately wanted to learn and add to my life, aka exercise, eating well but nothing was really happening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some of my tasks\/learning\/habits i been\u00a0procrastination all this while included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Eating healthy<\/li>\n
  2. Hitting gym<\/li>\n
  3. De-addiction from social media porn<\/li>\n
  4. Reading more and more<\/li>\n
  5. Drawing like the one I have added in the blog (I killed this one today, before writing this post \ud83d\ude42 )<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Our brain is stupid, it only works when we offer it some kind of incentives or rewards. It is like a dog\u00a0 waiting for bone to wag his tail.\u00a0 I have my own little reward system and It has been working so far good, things are going on it positive direction. I am able to understand I am\u00a0procrastinating & need to take care of my monkey mind (In words of Naval<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    There is another interesting TED talk by Tim Ubran<\/strong>, guy behind https:\/\/waitbutwhy.com<\/a>\/.<\/p>\n
