Procrastination

[EZEQUIAS]

Laziness and convenience have taken great opportunities in the lives of many people. Do not be one of those who are content with the basics, innovate and be a more successful person.

I was the Queen of procrastination.You know what the bible says 'Lazy hands make for poverty,but diligent hands bring wealth'. I'm sure that I want to be super wealthy. So I have decided to get off my backside and work my socks off, so that I can live, life on my own terms. Procrastination is also an indication of your mental state. You're either depressed or bored. Once you decide what you want in life, procrastination is a thing of the past.

That's right, your mental state greatly influences the personal and professional lifestyle you will have. Letting laziness and negativity aside is critical to our personal success!

As we all know procrastination is the escape of doing a task that needs to be done for a day. In short it is just being lazy. Coming up with different kinds of reasons why not do it today, right now. Truth is that those reasons, though some of those are quite valid, but are just excuses not to work on it.

Yes, i absolutely agree.Procrastination and laziness have absolutely ravaged today's youth. People have no desire to do anything, they can't make themselves get off the couch and they blame it all on "depression", which in most cases is basically only laziness. Now, before anyone gets offended, i understand there are real cases, but generally it's just laziness.
I don't really know how are we supposed to fix this but it's a serious problem.

I was fond of procrastinating before. It took me a lot of realization and a lot of failures, unfinished works, and failed decisions before overcoming it.
I have came to realize that procrastinating is the main reason of my failures and the reason why I always end up being late in my works and in anything I do.
So, as of now I am always challenging myself not to delay in anything I do.

Procrastination or delaying things to be done, to me has another meaning and that is indecisiveness or being unsure and reluctance.

There are things, situations and opportunities that a person must make a life changing decision on. One example is whenever a good business opportunity presents itself, one usually procrastinates in deciding to leave work and start a new business, This doubt leads to timidness and unproductiveness. Procrastination to me can sometimes be good and sometimes bad, it all depends on the situation. There's no such thing as risk free decision in this world but you can always weight the risks, decide firmly and work on it because no success will come to a person who's always afraid, undecided and lazy.

Procrastination is perfectionism's nastier partner. As I've worked on letting go of my perfectionism over the last few years, I find it's easier to get started on projects and see them through. Fear of messing up makes us lose out on opportunities all the time. I think once we relax and accept that mistakes are inevitable, it's easier to take action.

Everyone makes excuses to postpone doing things they need to accomplish even when they know these are crucial to their future. We avoid doing these tasks for the exact same reasons: lack of motivation. Besides, we can always do it tomorrow, right?

Procrastination is not entirely bad since there are people who are more successful and happier if they procrastinate but that doesn’t mean they're lazy, they just handle delay better. Another reason why we procrastinate is that we fear failure. Fearing the consequences of failure will result in declining to take action.

I suffer from procrastination quite a lot. It’s just a case of realising it and refocusing yourself and getting back on the path of what you need to do. Sometimes it can be good as a way to refresh yourself. So it shouldn’t be confused between resting a bit.
