We’ve all been there: you have a project you’re excited about, you know you should get started, but you end up replying to messages, watching videos, or finding some other “more urgent” task to do. At the end of the day, the feeling of not having made any progress is often accompanied by frustration and even guilt. However, procrastinating doesn’t mean you’re lazy or undisciplined.
