Might just exactly be the question you would be asking
yourself right now...
Unless you're either born with a silver spoon in your mouth
or you're just plain lucky, it seems your 'Present' is the
hardest time you encounter everyday, the choices you make,
the things you do, the things that happen to you... you end
up regretting it all.
Hear me out fam, You ain't alone in this battle. There's
Thousand, naayy Million, naaaayyyyy Billion others who are
in the same rut as you, and I accept this, I'm one of
em'.
I have had some profound thoughts about this and I theorized
something deep as I kept going from point A to point B to
point C.
So what I thought was... It's not your
laziness or procrastination or un-productivity (idk if
that's even a word), it's actually fear. Fear is the real
culprit here.
Didn't get me? Totally understandable, cuz anyways my
brain processes a hugeass amount of information even
before I finish processing the previous one.
So yeah, back to the topic, "what fear?", you may be asking.
I'd say everyone got their fears and somehow the same fear
controls most of their actions.
Mine is such a cliche (but a really bad one), the fear of
failure before dying. Studies show that 69% of the
population, when asked what their biggest fear was, answered
the same thing. Either the same statement, or individually,
but all those fears means the same, except on the surface
level.
You might still be confused. You're doubting me and are
currently saying, "the author is dumb. he doesn't understand
what he himself wrote. The title and what he says are
totally unrelated. He should probably go duck himself, etc
etc."........ But hang on, read it all, and then let your
mind ponder over what it just realized.
So,
basically the fear of failure or fear of death is such that,
when it gets embedded in someone's brain, it just stays
there, haunts them randomly, mostly in the middle of nights.
Tells them that they ain't gonna complete their goals, they
ain't gonna win at life, they ain't gonna fulfill their
reason for existing.
These thoughts start creeping up to you, which results in
you panicking for a while, and then you calm down, and it
seems everything's back to normal, but on a subconscious
level, nothing is back to normal, and nothing will unless
something actually happens to get rid of that fear. These
thoughts state that you have very limited and unpredictable
time in your life. There are no second lives or
reincarnation bu112h17 in our existence. Even if they were,
we wouldn't know.
So, our mind wants to achieve everything it desires as
quickly as possible, in the least time. We want this to be
so quick, that our mind whitelists any/every bad choice or
option we take.
This, in turn, makes up in our
personality. We make choices, decisions, etc influenced by
the same idea of quickness in achieving something.
And as y'all know, the more quick someone is about
something, chances are the person did that shit
half-heartedly. And could never fully enjoy doing it, leave
alone spending extra time on those activities..
This habit of quickly finishing stuff makes us
enjoy the process of doing the work and putting in efforts
lesser and lesser.
Ultimately, we conclude that a certain task doesn't makes us
happy, or provide us with joy. Thus we subconsciously
blacklist that certain task. Which means we procrastinate on
the task... Which takes us to our Guilt trips... Which makes
us Anxious and sad... And Finally, we end up considering
ourselves Unproductive.
So, that's it for this time.
Hope y'all enjoyed
my theory. These were entirely my thoughts, no study has
proven this to be true. But thinking logically, what I said
is true. So... There you have it... Reason for your
Unproductivity. 😌
