Do you have such a situation? You said that you would start to work out this year, but haven't started because of many reasons; you know today is the deadline for XXX submission, but still find many excuses to do anything but write a word; that urgent matter has not been accomplished because of various trivialities or just a small laziness. From a psychological perspective, this is a condition called "procrastination." Industry experts in career forums introduce that "procrastination" always manifests in various small things, but over time, it greatly affects the development of professionals. You know what to do but can never make up your mind. According to investigations by Southern Television reporters in recent years, paying attention to the psychological dynamics of professionals and the latest social phenomena has become a widely concerned issue across all levels of society. A recent survey about "procrastination" conducted by Bober, a recruitment website under Baidu, showed that nearly 90% of professionals suffer from "procrastination." According to Bober's investigation, 86% of professionals claim they have "procrastination," while only 4% clearly state that they do not have "procrastination." It is evident that "procrastination," a psychological term that has existed abroad for 20 years, has also become a label that many white-collar workers in our country attach to themselves and has become a common "occupational disease" in the workplace. TVS editor's survey showed that half of the professionals often delay until the last moment, and more than seven out of ten professionals frequently procrastinate. Bober's investigation pointed out that 50% of professionals "won't start working unless it's the last moment," 19% "only procrastinate for a while," 17% will drag it out for "about one day," and even 13% "won't complete unless the boss urges again." Moreover, 43% of professionals frequently experience "procrastination," 31% say "they have always loved to delay," 8% say "recently there are more delays," and only 18% say "rarely, occasionally" they procrastinate. It can be seen that procrastination has become the norm in the work of most professionals. Advisors from Bober Data Research Center believe that this requires high vigilance and attention from both professionals and employers to avoid the losses and risks brought to normal work by excessive procrastination. It was reported that more than half of the professionals may delay any matter; and networks, lazy mentality have become the main culprits. According to data from Bober's investigation, 54% of professionals "may delay regardless of big or small matters," 35% generally only delay on "daily life trivialities," 24% delay on "small things, such as routine administrative affairs," but it should be noted that 10% of professionals even clearly indicate that they will delay on "important matters, such as important reports, product designs, etc." More than eight out of ten professionals with "procrastination" have less than five years of work experience, indicating that shorter working time and lower professionalization lead to the prevalence of "procrastination" in these groups. Bober Data Research Center believes that "procrastination" has enormous harm: delaying work or study, affecting emotions, disrupting team collaboration and interpersonal relationships, and may even drag down physical health. Professionals are advised to understand the deeper reasons for their procrastination, fully realize that their tardiness is completely unnecessary, write down the reasons for being tardy one by one, overcome these reasons one by one, start doing things, and ultimately overcome "procrastination."
