Last day of July and many people were in rush for filling Income Tax return in India. All the salaried individuals or individuals having different source of income were required to furnish the income and investment details to the #tax authority. This income pertains to the previous year, ending on 31st Mar. as per the official stats, more than 12 Lakhs people have filled the return on the last day. What made me worried is why people alwsys wait for the last minute?
The number is huge as the ITR filling window remain open for filling since the end of the financial year. Still people are in habit of delaying the things till it reach to the last minute. The things that can be done easily in early stage were taken to the last-minute creating lot of chaos and panic to the individuals as well to the officials. This is common scenarios and happens every year, People are not learning from their mistakes and keep taking the things to last minute. This has become a general human tendency, and they always like to hang things up.
My Dad always insisted on doing the things in advance so that it wont struck in the last-minute rush. His prime purpose was to teach us that time is important and if we get the things in time then we will get enough time for other things in life. Also, there are things which are not in our control. If we keep delaying than not sure what will happen on the last day or last minute. I remember it was the lesson learnt while paying the electricity bill. I delayed it till last day and unfortunately, the office system was not working letting me to pay the additional penalty of late payment.
The lesson from him made me to plan in advance, manage things well in advance to avoid last min chaos. Unless and untill it was not hampered by some unavoidable circumstances.
The trajectory of life is that, people always get into their comfort zone and hesitant to get out of it. A slight traction in their usual routine create a lot of chaos and they are unable to adjust. Or they do not consider the importance of such things. As a human being we have the ability to plan out our daily as well other activity. But the problem is that we unable to prioritize things in order.
The more time we save, we can utilize them for other meaningful stuff. How do you carry out your routine? It was preplan or ill plan?
