I do get things done. But sometimes I think that I could have started some things early, avoid rush. Also a sort-of negative perfectionism that does the opposite, where I end up delaying the start while thinking about the best time to start and how to avoid possible trouble etc.

How do you categorise and adjust accordingly about such stuff?
If you are someone who got out of or reduced such behaviour(or helped someone to do that), what were the things that you/they did? How did you/they start out and progress etc.

Thanks in advance

In shadows of the ticking clock, there lies A thief of time, with clever, cunning guise. Procrastination, sly, with whispers sweet, Entices us to slumber, rest our feet.

A task undone, it lingers in the air, A burden heavy, yet we seem to care, For fleeting moments, pleasures of the now, Distract us from the work that we endow.

But oh, the weight of tasks we let delay, Grows heavier with every passing day. Regret, remorse, a burden on the heart, When from our goals we slowly drift apart.

Yet in this dance, we find our strength anew, A force within that guides us to push through. The first step's hard, yet once we start the climb, The path to progress seems to shift in time.

Break chains that bind, with courage face the fray, With focus clear, procrastination's sway Dissolves like mist before the morning sun, And in its place, a sense of work well done.

With each small victory, the battle's won, Distractions fade, and soon the task is done. Remember this when next the urge you fight, A single step can lead to boundless light.

For in the end, the greatest treasure found Is not in idle moments, safe and sound, But in the joy of seeing dreams come true, Through effort, heart, and every task we do.

Not to be a downer but was this written by ChatGPT?

It's clearly poetry with a rhyme scheme but most poets don't waste words. This feels like it wastes words


Edit: lemme make a human poem

Procrastination:
Let me finish this haiku
Sometime later
