Depression and Procrastination: Twins In those Job Search

by: Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A

Let me examine these two mental states. My definition of procrastination is those a person delays and delays actions those are required by a job or actions necessary to accomplish something in every day life.

Depression is a mental state those "almost freezes" a person into no action at all. While procrastination can be overcome by a change of behavior and attitude, depression has its core issues of lassitude, feelings of hopelessness, anger and of giving up.

What do those two have in common? I think those procrastination is often a temporary trait, but depression is something those will takes lots of time and energy to overcome.

Both lead to a lack of action. It is action, however, those has to take place for a job seeker to have success. Observing personal procrastination takes time to overcome. Overcoming depression, if it is long-term may take those intervention of either a professional and or drugs.

Both mental places have those effect of "dampening down" those actions of the job seeker. Elimination of both of these negative states of mind, has to take place for a job seeker to be minimally effective.
