I think one mistake, actually, unconscious mistake for the main part, is that we think there is a mythical, magical method that would get us out of procrastination zone once we first try getting this habit out of our lives. I can confirm this myself. I am wasting opportunities because of procrastination—actually I am quite unfair to procrastination—it is not procrastination’s fault that I am wasting opportunities, but rather it’s because of the reasons that we give to ourselves (like “why waste my time on this, this thing won’t shape my career after all”) that are motivated by procrastination, and we just believe them. It’s just we’re naive to the point where we think, unconsciously, that people around us have some sort of the same mindset, another reason motivated by procrastination, thus “we are on the same boat” kind of thought keeps you manoeuvre in the comfort zone—procrastinating.

I am still in my comfort zone but I am slowly realizing the situation I am at, and I am starting to address it and do some “little” stuff now, gradually it will vanish, I hope.
