Procrastination: The Task That Grows

Picture this: you’ve got your YBFIT Training theory test looming, or maybe you’re eyeing that first run in weeks. The longer you put it off, the more daunting it becomes.

Distracted by Procrastination

In today’s world, distractions are everywhere. I’ll admit, I’m guilty too—I can easily bounce from one task to another, leaving the first behind. Our phones beckon with every ping, social media tempts us with bite-sized info snacks just a click away.

Breaking Through Procrastination

So, how do we kick the procrastination habit? When that urge to make excuses hits, how do we push past and just get it done?

The Psychology of Procrastination

The urge to procrastinate stems from our instinct to dodge discomfort—even the tiniest bit. Many of us chase instant gratification, struggling to connect short-term discomfort (like a rainy hill run) with long-term rewards (hello, fitness and happiness).

Mind Over Procrastination

It’s all about mindset. Pause before you reach for your phone. Ask yourself, “Is this really how I want to spend my time?”

Procrastination: Goal Reminders

Remember your goals. Sure, the easy option beckons, but will it get you where you want to be in the long run?

Practical Steps to Beat Procrastination

Beyond the mental battle, practical steps help too. Break tasks into bite-sized chunks—planning makes daunting goals feel achievable. But don’t get lost in planning; set a limit and dive in.

Believe and Conquer Procrastination

Above all, believe in yourself. Conquer the intimidation factor and watch tasks shrink to manageable sizes.
