When we procrastinate, we are immersed in future thinking, and unable to do the work that we had planned to do in the present moment. The consequences of this behavior are often harmful.

For example, if we refrain from performing necessary tasks, this will negatively influence future results and the acquirement of resources, while utilizing the resources we have accumulated by past endeavors. We stagnate, and with stagnation comes deterioration.

But most ironic is that the act of repeated procrastination probably costs us more energy than performing the task itself.

This video will explore the mechanisms of procrastination. What is it? Where does it come from? What do different philosophies (Stoicism & Taoism) say about it, and what wisdom do they contain that might help us out? Philosophers like Marcus Aurelius and Lao Tzu had a thing or two to say about this.

How to stop procrastinating? How to be more productive? Overcome procrastination and be more productive at studying, work, et cetera.
