• Your emotional well-being suffers.

• Procrastination might make you sick.

Let’s look at how procrastination messes up all these areas of your life.

Lower Achievement

Before I continue, I have a small request.

Be a good friend, and share Time Tactix with someone who might need it.

Thank you, it means the world to me.

Financial Impact

This one will hurt but it’s true:

Procrastination costs you a ton of money throughout your career. Here’s what a study found out:

The researchers ranked people's tendency to procrastinate on a scale of 1 to 5. They found a significant impact of procrastination on income:

A single-point increase on this procrastination scale was associated with a $15,000 decrease in annual salary.

Procrastination reduces your performance at work. And it will show in your bank account.

But it gets even worse...

Decreased Happiness

Most likely, your happiness also suffers from your habit of procrastinating.

A survey showed that this is the case for 94% of procrastinators, and 18% stated that this effect is extremely negative.

The constant feeling of guilt and stress that comes with procrastinating takes its toll.

Health Issues

As if all these consequences were not enough, procrastination makes you sick as well.

As research from Bishops University in Quebec shows, procrastination is detrimental to health.

There are two reasons for that:

• The stress that procrastinators feel weakens their immune system.

• Many procrastinators put off health behaviors, such as eating well, exercising, or seeing the doctor.
