Procrastination and Motivation Issues
Procrastination issues are more than just delaying tasks; it’s a complex behaviour where one repeatedly puts off tasks despite knowing there will be negative consequences. These motivation issues can stem from a variety of issues and often leads to significant stress and diminished performance.
If procrastination and motivation issues are hindering your productivity and causing you distress, discussing it with a psychologist like myself can help you overcome it.
