🚪 You’re Not Just Delaying Tasks… You’re Postponing Your Life
Maybe I don’t know you yet, but let me ask you something real.
How many goals are collecting dust in the corners of your life?
The book you said you’d write 10 years ago…
The dance class you told yourself you’d start after the New Year…
The business idea that lit your heart up but now lives in a folder called “someday.
That text you never sent — to the person who once meant everything…
You see, we don’t just procrastinate emails or admin.
We procrastinate our truth. Our calling. Our joy. Our healing.
And slowly, we become experts at avoiding what matters most without knowing it.
🕯 The Hidden Cost of Procrastination
Imagine walking through a house filled with rooms you never finished.
- One room is half-painted.
- Another has a mattress on the floor, still wrapped in plastic.
- A dusty guitar sits in the corner with strings that haven’t been touched in years.
- There’s a room with boxes labelled “side hustle,” “writing dreams,” “start gym,” and “find love”,… all taped shut.
Now imagine… that house is your life.
You tell yourself,
“I’ll sort it after this busy season.”
“I just need to feel more ready.”
“Next week. Next month. Next year.”
But that ache in your chest? It’s not failure.
It’s your soul trying to remind you:
You were meant for more than this.
🧩 Why You Procrastinate (And Why Hacks Don’t Work)
Most people try to fix procrastination with productivity hacks:
- Timers.
- Sticky notes.
- Focus apps.
These are tools, not solutions. You can’t fix emotional resistance with a checklist.
Because procrastination isn’t one thing — it’s five distinct patterns.
Each type needs its own antidote.
🔻 Meet the 5 Types of Procrastinators
1. The Avoider
You dodge tasks that feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or emotionally loaded.
You avoid it, not because you’re lazy, but because you’re scared of the storm on the other side.
2. The Disorganised
You’re full of potential, but it’s scattered.
Your plans live in 100 tabs. You start strong, then forget where you put the finish line.
3. The Insecure
You don’t believe you can. So you don’t start.
Because if you never begin… You can’t fail.
4. The Dependent
You wait for a green light — approval, permission, applause.
But no one is coming to save you. It’s your dream.
5. The Indecisive
You plan the plan. Then re-plan it.
And all the while, your momentum leaks like air from a punctured tyre.
