Experts from Sweden have stated that procrastination is the cause of illness.
Procrastination leads to depression and other problems.
As the results of the scientists’ work have shown, a high level of procrastination is associated not only with severe symptoms of depression, but also with anxiety and stress.
Insomnia and pain in the upper limbs may occur.
There may also be problems related to loneliness and finances.
As a result, experts came to the conclusion that procrastination is the cause of poor health, and not vice versa.
The problem can be solved. To do this, you need to break long-term goals into short-term ones, remove distracting factors, for example, smartphones and other gadgets. In addition, as doctors noted in their work, it is necessary to overcome negative emotions in order to focus on tasks.
