Procrastination The Thief of Time


Procrastination is a thief not only of time, but also of life. It appears to be harmless, but has adverse effect on your time and dream. Many people are suffering loss, regrets, depression and pain caused by procrastinating. It has become a habit and way of life for some other people.
When you do not have a compass to where you are going and no ideal of what you want to achieve you open yourself to accept to do anything in order to be busy. But with clear goals you have constrains on you to focus and stay on course. Each time you have an excuse for not doing what is needed to be done at a particular time, you lose the power to put things under your control.

Procrastination is not a means of escaping responsibilities as most people feel, instead it makes the task taskier at the end. It only excuses you for now, but does not exonerate you from doing the work. There is an agenda meant to be worked on each day in order to achieve your set goal. Deferring from doing anyone of them, means you did not complete all you needed to do that day and as a result you stay behind time. Once you start to lack behind in activities, you delay the time of your accomplishment.
While do later what you can do now and tomorrow what can be done today? The activity you have planned for a day is just what you needed for that day alone. Adding to it a task not planned for creates overload.

  • Be clear about your mission. Do not allow your situation shape your destiny. Declare what you want to do, how you want to do it, where you want to do it, and when you want to start on it. Have a mission statement for your live and let that determine the things you do, and how you handle your time.

  • What you believe, you must do in order to become it. Do not do anything and everything, but only those things that you passionately believe can make your dream come true. Concentrate, focus and work on what you believe will make your dream a reality.

  • Organize yourself and your activities in such a way that every moment of time is used for attaining success. If you start just at anything you will end up at nothing. Ensure that everything needed to be done is well arranged and worked on. You also need to be discipline and committed to the course you want to pursue. Nothing works like doing the right thing, at the right time, using the right resources in the right environment.
