Then procrastination is the main barrier blocking you from getting up, making the right decisions and living the dream life you've thought of.
Recent studies have shown that people regret more the things they haven't done than the things they have done. In addition, feelings of regret and guilt resulting from missed opportunities tend to stay with people much longer.
