I’ll do it later. I want to play games. This is the act of procrastination being portrayed. Procrastination is the act of being late to do what you are supposed to do. If you have something important to do and you shift it ahead, you have just procrastinated.
Why do we procrastinate?
• Little or no motivation: Out of no motivation, we should find a way to motivate ourselves to do what we are supposed to do. So many people lack motivation and in this case, they end up shifting forward what they are meant to do.
• Pleasure of other things: Most people choose to do other things that seem interesting to them over the important thing. I’ve seen people who are meant to be checking their Forex charts but chose to play games first before doing the important one. I’ve done that before as well so I’m guilty.
• Fear of failure: If I’m scared to fail, I’m likely not to do what I should on time. For example, I’m supposed to go for a cooking competition which happens just once a year in Nigeria and I’ve been procrastinating for over five years just because I think I’m going to fail and I think so many people do this as well.
How do we overcome procrastination?
• Eliminating distractions: Distraction seem like a major challenge and if we want to stop procrastinating, we have to stay away every form of distraction so that we can focus on the things we have to do and we won’t procrastinate.
• Breaking tasks to smaller chunks: Sometimes, we procrastinate because we have too many tasks to do but when we break them into smaller piece, we won’t have to worry because we have set how to achieve it and it will be achievable that way.
• Creating a routine: If you have a timetable of the things you do everyday, you won’t procrastinate. It’s just like a ritual or something you do daily so there will be no need to shift it because you’re used to it.
Procrastination never leads to something good. It may be quite stressful to do what you have to do especially when it is not enjoyable but you just have to do it.
