Becoming aware of why you procrastinate⁵ means taking a step back and looking at some of the possible reasons such as boredom⁶, lack of confidence in the project, lack of self-confidence, and feeling overwhelmed.Once you know the reason, it's a matter of finding things to remedy it and cut your procrastination off at the source.
