PROCRASTINATION

[davidbright]

Have you ever put off your work till the last possible minute? Have you ever delayed something till the last possible hour? This is what procrastination is all about and almost every one of us, including myself are guilty of this.

FACTS ABOUT PROCRASTINATION

Norman Vincent Peale said;

"If you put off everything till you're sure of it, you'll never get anything done."

Procrastination is seen as the action of delaying a task as much as possible until the deadline arrives. Norman asserts that such procrastinators always end up not getting anything done because if the deadline eventually never arrives, the task will inevitably be delayed forever and then, the process of a long-term procrastination begins. Remember, there is never a right time to do something, you just need to create the time.

Williams Shakespeare said;

"Defer not time, delays have dangerous ends."

We often neglect doing our duties because of laziness, and then, we defer them to some future time. This has severe consequences.

We lose precious time, ruin our careers, blow opportunities, end up not meeting our goals, lower our self-esteem, make poor decisions and even damage our reputation when we procrastinate. We shouldn't forget that procrastination also affect our health both mentally, spiritually and physically.

Benjamin Franklin said;

"You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again."

Time waits for no man. You may delay, but time will not. We only have little or no time at our disposal and every minute we waste can never be regained. Remember time when lost, can never be regained.

TIPS ON OVERCOMING PROCRASTINATION

1. Set priorities with the right mindset.

2. Learn to split apart the task at hand into smaller parts.

3. Be realistic and don't sign up for more than you have time for.

4. Make a plan using calendar or your phone app. Give yourself mini deadlines for each step of the way.

5. Always remember the reason you are doing a task in the first place. This should make you motivated to get moving.

6. Stop making excuses.

7. Put your phone away if you really need to get things done. This will remove or minimize any form of noise or distractions.

8. Always learn to “Do it now!”

Deferring a task especially an important one due to some reason or the other can be detrimental.

Procrastination is the mother of failure, my thought though.

Well, that sounds a lot like me :) I always leave something for the last minute, then I run to achieve it, I feel the adrenaline blows from everywhere and then I feel very much alive and "doping" :) lol I guess that's one of the reasons I still do it! :)
