Procrastination

Procrastination.. something that we are all guilty of at one point in time or another..

Procrastination is a disease. It eats into you slowly but surely until you are eventually overwhelmed with stuffs to do that it will be almost impossible to get anything done.

Procrastination is avoiding doing something. It is not being able to get things started. It is not being able to finish what you planned to do.

Procrastination is writing a list.. and forever writing a list but never gets anything important done.. It is about making excuses to do it later but “later” never comes. It is about being so busy with so many “more important” things that you need to do.. but the truth is, none of any of them usually contributes to what is important.

Procrastination is lying to yourself that you’re a perfectionist and the only reason why you have not moved ahead with your plan is because you haven’t found the “best” way of executing it yet.

Procrastination is avoiding taking ownership and refusing to make the decision to resolve a problem hoping that the problem will go away by avoiding dealing with it.

Procrastination is about spending too much time worrying over things rather than really doing it. It is about making a task unduly complicated. It is about indecisiveness and fear of making wrong decisions. It is about the lack of urgency and an inability to act on a task right away.

Procrastination is the lack of discipline.. and my definition of discipline is “the ability to force yourself to do the things that are difficult, the things that you dislike, or the things that you don’t want to do”.

Procrastination is the lack of being focus.. the lack of drive or motivation.. the lack of pragmatism (in other words you’re a “day-dreamer”)..

Procrastination is really plain laziness. It is idling your time away rather than working on things that really ought to be done (like reading this when you ought to be doing what’s on your “To Do List”).

Make yourself useful today.. STOP PROCRASTINATING..

Cheers.
