The Real Damage of Procrastination
Procrastination is more than just putting things off—over time, it affects every part of your life:
Career Trajectory
Missed deadlines, reduced productivity, and missed opportunities can hold you back from promotions or reaching your professional potential.
Physical Health
Procrastinating on things like exercise, diet, and self-care takes a toll on your body. Combined with the stress of avoiding tasks, it can lead to poor fitness, weight gain, and weakened immunity.
Mental Health
Constantly delaying tasks creates a cycle of stress and guilt, leading to anxiety and even depression. When procrastination extends to self-care, it can worsen mental health by increasing feelings of overwhelm and burnout.
Are You a Serial Procrastinator? Do You Feel Stuck in a Loop?
Stress often triggers procrastination as a coping mechanism to avoid difficult emotions or tasks.
Ironically, procrastination then generates even more stress as deadlines loom, and responsibilities pile up.
This creates a self-perpetuating cycle: stress causes procrastination, and procrastination intensifies stress.
Chronic Low Level Stress Matters!
It’s often the ongoing, low-level stress—like daily responsibilities or emotional strain—that leads to procrastination. Over time, these small stressors build up and make it harder to take action.
Use this Stress Test (The Life Change Index) to identify the stressors in your life—whether it's a move, a new job, or caring for a relative—that might be contributing to your procrastination.

Hi, I’m Gwen Bach, the founder of GoalsNinja.
As an ex-therapist and MSc graduate in Applied Neuroscience from King’s College London, I’ve always been passionate about understanding human behaviour and helping people achieve personal growth. My research focused on how goal-directed actions and goal progress can reduce burnout, boost work engagement, and improve overall well-being.
Along the way, I realised that for most of us, procrastination is the hidden bottleneck that prevents consistent action toward our goals. Even worse, it often traps us in a frustrating cycle—feeling stuck, like we’re reliving the same day over and over, just like in Groundhog Day. While procrastination is often the subject of lighthearted jokes, its impact is far more serious than most of us realise.
By combining scientific insights with my therapeutic experience, I developed a system that completely transformed my life. Now, I’m excited to share this method with you, so together, we can overcome procrastination and help you unlock your full potential.
