0Hey.
Let’s talk about a word we all know… too well: procrastination.
Procrastination means delaying something you know you need to do.
Not because you don’t care — but because your brain says,
“Not now. Maybe later.”
The word comes from Latin:
"pro" means forward,
"crastinus" means of tomorrow.
So literally — “push it to tomorrow.”
But in real life, it’s more than just a delay.
It’s resistance.
You might say:
- “I’ll start after lunch.”
- “I need to feel ready first.”
- “I work better under pressure.”
But deep down, you know — that’s procrastination talking.
It often shows up when:
- You’re afraid to fail.
- You want something to be perfect.
- Or it just feels too overwhelming to start.
So your brain picks something easier —
scrolling, cleaning, even watching videos like this.
It’s not laziness.
It’s your mind choosing short-term comfort over long-term progress.
The longer you wait,
the heavier it feels.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to feel ready.
You just need to start — even badly.
Start with one small step.
Because action creates momentum,
and momentum kills procrastination.
So next time your brain says “later,”
just whisper back:
“How about now?”
You’ve got this.
