When we start to learn new skills or hobbies, we are quite excited and we love what we want to learn, but as the days passes, seeing back how much we have progressed learning those skills, we may end up giving up and then it becomes too late. 🙄

So, In this Blog we will discuss something which is very important and many of us (me too) have faced this quite a common issue of how to overcome procrastination.

In the words of Google, Procrastination is the act of delaying or putting off tasks until the last minute, or past their deadline. 😑

In this digital age, knowingly or unknowingly we are spending lot of time on social media such as Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Games, LinkedIn etc... which tricks us that it will take short time to browse and we will get back to our work. But we keep on browsing and using these apps and end up loosing our very precious time. (P.S:- I am not against them just we need to be regulated & use it for very very limited amount of time)

To show some statistics

- An average user spent 2 hours and 24 minutes per day on social media in 2020.
