💡 We’ve all been there. The report that’s due tomorrow, the email draft sitting untouched, the project you know you should start… but somehow, it always gets pushed to “later.”
In our recent online webinar for employees at Shopee Store organized by Vealth.me , our clinical psychologist / HRD-Corp Accredited Trainer Yap delivered the talk "Later or Now: How to Enhance Productivity in the Workplace", he shared with participants that procrastination is not simply laziness.
In fact, a moderate level of procrastination can be part of productivity, because without prioritizing or delaying, even the most driven employees risk burnout.
The question isn’t “Do you procrastinate?”
It’s “Is your procrastination helping you — or hurting you?”
✅ When it helps: It allows us to sort priorities and conserve energy for what truly matters.
❌ When it hurts: It becomes avoidance, creates negative consequences, and may signal deeper struggles like undiagnosed adult ADHD, depression, or burnout.
✨ The big takeaway: Procrastination isn’t the enemy. It’s a signal. Learning to work with it, rather than against it, can unlock both productivity and well-being.
A big thank you to the participants for your participations, questions, and reflections during the session.
