Do you procrastinate? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research out of University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom found that chronic procrastination has been linked to low self-esteem and high levels of stress. Studies have also shown that people who put things off tend to have larger amygdalas- the part of the brain that processes anxiety and fear. Procrastination is essentially a double-edged sword. You procrastinate because you’re stressed and then stressed because you procrastinated. You can avoid this by making and completing task lists with finish by dates off to the side. You can also try breaking up the work over a few days instead of cramming it all into one. Remember to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety.
