Why Wait?  the Science Behind Procrastination
Labels are dangerous, and labelling yourself as a procrastinator will just make you even less likely to do the work you need to do. I think I get a lot of work done (solo game dev on my own), but I also re-organise my task list about every week too, does that make me a procrastinator? If I get stuck on a hard problem, I&#x27;ll often browse the internet mindlessly, then come back and solve it. Does that make me a procrastinator? If I take a week off, am I a procrastinator!?<p>Just because we made up a word for &#x27;not doing work&#x27; doesn&#x27;t make it real, or a problem. &#x27;chronic procrastination&#x27;? Give me a break.<p>I think the real problem is people don&#x27;t like doing things that are hard, which work generally is (nothing worth doing is easy after all!), and it&#x27;s easy to just not do something and not have to suffer through the stress of it, anxiety of it and so on.<p>If you&#x27;re still reading, my solution for all this is exercise, specifically Yoga. I have a mat laid out in my house, and when I&#x27;m stressed I just do poses, stretching and breathing, and all the &#x27;bad feelings&#x27; go away. then I can work in a relaxed state and end up being very productive. A biologist would probably tell you that you release chemicals that combat the stress chemicals and so on, but I just know it works.
