Procrastination has become a common trend in GenZ. Having procrastinating all the and pushing themselves until the last moment just to get their adrenaline and dopamine levels in a mess. Procrastination plays a huge part in the thinking process of the GenerationZs. It is a process of delaying the work/tasks assigned to one of the thirsts for dopamine gratification. This generation has made it habitual of the mindset “It is what it is”, “dekh lenge kya hoga baadme…”.
Procrastination roots in many thoughts, which are in general about failure, which is about not adhering to deadlines, failing to meet deadlines, and effectively leading to overthinking. The point of procrastination is to come up with a better solution rather than making a rash decision. There are a million reasons why we might procrastinate on something, but at the end of the day it usually comes down to one thing: we’re avoiding something we don’t want to do. It might be because we’re afraid of failure, or because we’re overwhelmed by the task at hand. Whatever the reason, we all do it, and it’s not always a bad thing.
Procrastination has increased to such an extent that it plays a major part in determining a person’s ability to work. Thinking about how one can fail to adhere to deadlines even when that person has not even started working on the task assigned says a lot about GenerationZ. In most cases, procrastination is negative; it can lead to wasted time, missed opportunities, and feelings of guilt, stress, and anxiety.
Social media has been one of the reasons why procrastination has increased in Generation Z. It has become one of the salient tools, helping Generation Z with procrastination. The wide-ranging accessibility to social media has been a catalyst for procrastination. Every now and then, Generation Z checks their social media for hours. It has been one of the reasons why Generation Z has been procrastinating a lot.
There are many reasons why people procrastinate. Generation Z spends hours on social media, not doing anything productive. They waste hours and hours and get distracted, in search of temporary dopamine releases. The accumulation of extremely short-term happiness doses is the reason for Generation Z’s getting addicted to Social Media.
In some cases, it may be because the task is overwhelming or seems too difficult. Other times, it may be because the person is simply not interested in the task. And in other cases, it may be because the person is afraid of failure. Whatever the reason, procrastination can have serious consequences. It can lead to missed deadlines, lost productivity, and even depression. If you find that you are regularly putting off important tasks, it may be time to seek help from a therapist or counselor.

For others, it may be because they are overwhelmed by the task at hand and don’t know where to start. Whatever the reason, procrastination can have negative consequences.
The generation doesn’t realize how procrastination may harm them in the long run. It is all fun and games until it starts affecting your mental health. Procrastination can also lead to stress and anxiety. When a person is constantly putting off something, they may start to feel like they are not good enough or that they will never be able to finish the task. This can lead to a spiral of negative thinking that can be hard to break out of.
This is a serious issue but it can easily be overcome. Generation Z has a lot on its plate with procrastination being majorly covering the plate. Delaying your work and responsibilities will always affect your mental health in the long run.
One must analyze the reasons behind one’s procrastination. As soon as one has determined the cause, one can get to work figuring out how to fix the problem.
