While I can’t understand how the hours have passed and what time has turned into days, the thought that my life has passed by procrastinating makes me think. In order to postpone the thoughts in my mind, I make a move to grab my phone, which I can reach quickly. Even a short tour between apps will help me banish this troubling thought. Otherwise, this uncomfortable intimacy can make me feel restless, throw me into the darkness of anxiety, or let me down. I reach for the phone for a moment to procrastinate this restlessness, my thoughts and my work, some of us reaching for video games, cleaning, or our own forms of procrastination.

Frustration of unfulfilled wishes
The number of those who reproach the procrastination behavior is increasing day by day, but the number of those who can take action is decreasing. While consciously no one wants their time to be wasted, the unconscious minds the time that one fears being involved in. After the internet has connected the whole world, the fact that social media allows everyone to be included in their homes and the increase in the lives witnessed is impressive, but it systematically reminds people that they cannot fit into their mortal life. New perspectives extending from the neighborhood to the global add new ones to their insatiable desires as desired. On the other hand, the frustration of unfulfilled wishes increases.

It also reinforces feelings of inadequacy by implying that upbringing is based on one’s performance, even though the selection of the offered options takes time. The person who starts to think that he can’t keep up no matter what he does, continues to procrastinate in order to protect his self-worth. Especially for people with fragile self-worth, procrastination can be used strategically. The distorted belief that he has to perform well for the things to be done and that if he fails to do so, he will not be a good and valuable person, causes him to choose to fail without doing anything.

A representation of trying to escape the frustration of our own shortcomings. The desire to damage the time we can’t stop by wasting it – consciously or unconsciously -. The desire for immortality.
