{"product_id":"2940012473264","title":"Procrastination","description":"Here are few paragraphs from the book,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe behavior of procrastination affects almost everyone at one time or another in their life. For some it is a continuous habit, part of who they are, a not-so-endearing character trait; for others it may be a situational thing and doesn’t affect too many events in their life. For whatever reason, people put off things they don’t want to do.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBecause You Are Afraid. No one likes to admit that they fear something, but fear might just be the reason you put off doing what you know you should do. Whether it’s fear of failure or fear of success, it’s still fear. Fear is a paralyzing emotion. It has the ability to stop us in our tracks-literally. Some writers fear failure so they never write that epic novel they have churning around inside of them; some fear success and the result is the same. If you procrastinate compulsively, and who doesn’t enjoy doing that, then you may fear that once you’re successful at something you’ll suffer the compulsion to continually be successful. This will require you to work and finish what you’ve started and that will cut into your compulsion to procrastinate. It’s a never ending cycle. Fear can cause us to procrastinate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause You Don’t Think it’s Important Enough. You don’t place a high enough priority on the task at hand, it’s not vital and so it’s not worthy of you beginning it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou know the task needs to be done and you may already have decided that you’re the one who must do it. However, there is always something else more important on your to-do list that keeps bumping that particular job back to the bottom. Let’s say you know that that the dishwasher needs to be unloaded. You’ll get to it later, after you go grocery shopping. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Grocery shopping is more important because if you don’t have food you’ll starve to death. Besides, no one can see that the dishwasher is full of clean dishes. After grocery shopping you need to eat, because you’re hungry. Besides, you can just take a plate out of the dishwasher and use that. That’s sort of unloading it, isn’t it? Unloading the dishwasher isn’t a priority and that’s why you procrastinate doing it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou Don’t Know Enough to do the Task. You may procrastinate beginning a project because you simply don’t know everything you need to know in order to complete the task. You may not have consciously admitted this to yourself, but deep down you know it and it’s coming out as an aversion to starting the project. You need to determine whether or not this is because you haven’t collected all the data on what you have to do, or simply because you want to stall for more time.","brand":"MyAppBuilder.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145265332464,"sku":"2940012473264","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012473264_p0.jpg?v=1763569131","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012473264","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
