You're NOT Lazy!! The Real Reason You Procrastinate

Is "procrastination" your middle name? If you often tend to avoid doing stuff, people may label you as lazy. But according to psychology, there’s so much more to it than simply laziness!

In 2008, researchers found that people often put off responsibilities as a way of coping with anxiety. You may feel so overwhelmed, so done with everything, that you don’t feel like facing the task!

Depression can be a culprit too. Licensed clinical psychologist Shauna Pollard says that while battling depression, you may indulge in self-defeating thoughts which can make you feel like you don't even want to try! Depression also lowers your energy and makes it so much harder to get stuff done.

So, you see, it's not just about being lazy! If you struggle with productivity, visiting a mental health professional might help you find the root of this issue and fulfill your potential!
