Top 10 Procrastination Excuses: Is yours here?

Assalamu'alaikum,

How often do you find yourself saying any of these phrases when procrastination creeps in?

1. "I don't know how to do it."

2. "I really don't want to do this."

3. "It doesn't matter if I put this off."

4. "No one cares whether I do this or not."

5. "I need to be in the right mood."

6. "I can pull this off at the last minute."

7. "I work better under pressure."

8. "I just can't seem to get started."

9. "I'm waiting for the best time to do it."

10. "I need more time to think this through."

These are among the top 15 procrastination excuses identified by Tuckman, Abry, and Smith in their book, "Learning and Motivation Strategies: Your Guide to Success."

Take another look at these excuses. Notice a pattern? The majority are emotionally driven:

• "I don't want to do this."

• "I'm not in the mood."

• "I can't get started."

This tells us something important - overcoming procrastination isn't just about time management tools or productivity hacks. Yes, they can help, but often there's a deeper emotional hurdle that keeps us from taking action.

Understanding and tackling these emotional roadblocks is a core focus of our course, "How to Beat Procrastination". In this course, we delve into the real reasons we procrastinate and provide practical, faith-based strategies to overcome these 15 common excuses.
