PROCRASTINATION: Avoiding the Mental Drag

Procrastination is self-preservation.

You postpone doing something because you do not want to exert effort. Why?

Any effort takes mental energy. The brain is 2% of body weight yet uses 20% of the body's energy. Thus, any worker needs to cross their version of a sound barrier to perform at a different production level. Reaching the necessary speed means experiencing drag en route—not aerodynamic in our case—which makes it hard.

We all have experienced the feeling. We start working and do not like the effort, and the brain starts looking for lower-hanging fruits and whispering: Check the mailbox! Check the phone! The news! Drink a cup of something! Call away a coworker!

Do not listen to the lazy slab. Start immediately, feel the pain, and endure it. Soon, you will fly at a different speed, your productivity will skyrocket, and the results will accumulate.
