Everything is not urgent. Some things cannot wait while some can. Get to things that need your attention first. Once you’ve got the most important things out of the way, you will feel a significant lessening of the tension; that burdensome feeling that there is so much to be done.
It is instinctive – we don’t want to do the difficult, the onerous tasks. So we find reasons to not to do them now; to put them off for as long as possible. The downside to procrastination is that if one keeps putting things off, there will come a time when the thing simply has to be done and then one ends up doing a poor job. Meanwhile, there is always the tension about the task that has to be done – not doing it won’t make it go away!
