Procrastination is a pernicious enemy in our lives that causes our potential to languish. When we want to tackle difficult tasks, ambivalence holds us back. It is difficult to circumvent this mindset, but proper discipline can free us.
First, we must emerge from complacency and show tenacity in overcoming predicament. Building small habits acts as a catalyst and increases diligence. Often starting work seems daunting, but once started, efficacy continues to improve.
Generally, intermittent work does not reinforce us but increases exasperation. Therefore, we need to maintain unwavering focus and move forward without being oblivious.
Finally, discipline helps us mitigate problems and shows the path to true success. When we remain steadfast without relinquishing, procrastination no longer stands as a barrier.
