How I Won My 10 Year Battle With Procrastination

And How You Can Too

Being good at school came at a price for me. It made me a serious procrastinator.

When the perfect and obedient school kid is faced with life's biggest challenges, he magically thinks he should be able to come up with a perfect-scoring answer, just like in his school tests.

But trying to get a “perfect score” in the project of life is a monumental (and impossible) task - so who the hell wouldn't procrastinate?!

Days and weeks would pass where I’d get nothing done on college, work or life projects. I’d throw the time away scrolling on social media, burrowing down Wikipedia rabbit holes, or playing computer games. I’d feel bad, so then I’d comfort-eat to make me feel temporarily better. Finally, with time pressure mounting, I’d get to business with a stressy and frazzled mindset.

Not a great way to get shit done.

My procrastination meant that I:

• Rain-checked far too many social events.

• Missed out on applying for my dream job.

• Missed out on living in the perfect apartment.

• Took hours to do thin…
