It’s quite funny how a lot of us have solid, so called important, cogent reason for not doing important things at the right time. One bad habit a lot of youth have in common today is procrastination. Procrastination can said to be the action of delaying or postponing something, or he avoidance of doing a task that needs to be accomplished. In my own short simple and personal definition it not doing important stuffs until the last minute or deadline.
According to Baofred Onakomyia procrastination is a killer of time. If you give it more room it will kill your dreams is you welcome it into your home it will destroy your life. The disadvantages of procrastination are far greater than its advantages (if there is any). One thing we forget to understand is that we might delay but time would not. These are some dangers of procrastination:
the stress of having to multi task between activities because of accumulated procrastinated activity is quite risky for our on mental health. Having to multi-task between activities with little time to deliver would lead to a lot of mental stress and in the long run lead to other mental illness.
because you have little time do deliver due to procrastination you output, products would surely be sub- standard or of less quality as a result making you feel you are not good at what you do thereby making you think less of yourself.
relationship could be said to be everything in the business and other worlds today, as we need other people for almost everything. Procrastination has a way of making us not keep to time, time is everything when dealing with other people. Failing to keep to time over and over again tends to give one a bad reputation. And no one wants to continue or do business with someone with a bad reputation
as stated nobody wants to do business with someone that has a bad reputation. This would have a great impact on your career our career as it limits our growth in whatever organizations, field, and industry we are.
When you work too much you get tired and when you work too much over time it leads to accumulated fatigue. Having to rush to get things done is quite stressful because you push your body beyond its limit and once it over exceeds it limits it shuts down.
Now that we all know the dangers, disadvantages of procrastination its only advisable to drop the habit because it benefit in little or no way. For a lot of us who have developed or still developing the bad habit of procrastination this are some ways to tackle, curtail or say break free from it
What do you want to actually? It’s very important to answer the Yes Or No question. When you start telling yourself maybe or not sure are he signs of procrastination. Making the decisions is the first step to determination. You might not have the knowledge, capital or whole idea of what you want to do it still always advisable to make the decision before hand it enables you to choose a path rather than beating round the bush and as gives you this sense of determination that yes I want to do and get this things done at the right time.
One’s attitude towards anything is important. The whole idea is taking important things more serious and important. Most of us always have an excuse or the other for not doing things we are meant to do. We tend to blame the government, our environment, and other people, for not carrying out what we are supposed to. The truth is that we can’t always the perfect scenario, there are always this setback, disadvantage so there is always something to blame. If we wait for other variables to be perfect before we take a step we might never take that step, cause we would keep on procrastinating waiting and hoping things would get better. Having the attitude of now is key, that irrespective of other variables you would carry out what you are meant to do at the right time. A positive attitude opens your mind to possibilities and solutions instead of focusing on blame and excuses
One could say life never goes the way we plan but its still advisable to plan ahead. You could know and keep them in your head or write them down which is more advisable. A plan makes you see the end before you even start the whole process. Planning properly lets you allocates your time properly as you know when you want to start and when you what to finish.
Ones distractions could be friends, social media, hangouts, games and so on. One should make sure he or she avoid distractions, that consume a lot of time, time that was surpassed to be invested in more profitable activities. I know we have things we love doing, but careless about them and do what you are meant to do now am sure you would have all the time in the world to do other less useful things.
Yes I know you’ve made the mistake of procrastinating and you had an awful result or output, it’s not the end of the world. Don’t let it weigh you down just know that ones you stop procrastination you would do much more better next time.
In summary, whats that thing you need to do now, is a course, a job, a career whatever the right time to do it is now, stop procrastinating and take action NOW
