why we procrastinate
Quote: “So what are the pretexts you're using to avoid life? Here are the top seven excuses I hear from my clients. Do any of them sound familiar to you?

1. I'll do it later.
2. I don't have time to do it now.
3. It's not important.
4. I'll eventually get to it. This is a lie we tell ourselves as a procrastinator never gets to it.
5. I'll do it when my children are older.
6. I'll do it when I have the energy or when I'm in a better mood.
7. The number one biggest excuse though is: I'll do it when I'm older and retire.”

How to stop procrastinating... kind of my hypothesis
Quote: “I listed the things that are making me feel lazy and tried to overcome them. Whenever I feel like stopping from my task, I try to recall all those failed projects I had and how guilty they made me felt.”
