Procrastination often stems from setting unrealistic or overly ambitious goals, which can lead to feelings of overwhelm and avoidance. By establishing realistic, achievable short-term and long-term goals, individuals can mitigate feelings of anxiety associated with task completion. Clear, manageable goals foster motivation and promote consistent progress, diminishing the tendency to delay tasks. Adjusting goal-setting strategies encourages a sense of accomplishment and control, thereby reducing procrastinatory behavior. Properly aligned goals enhance self-efficacy, making tasks seem more attainable and less daunting, which effectively curtails procrastination.
