Procrastination is a thief of time….

Most of us have an ugly habit of delaying work which can be done then and there itself. We forget that there are a million ways to lose a work day, but not even a single way to get one back. Postponing things into the future would never get anyone anywhere; it has never done so either. Procrastination is an energy-draining, time-stealing and life-robbing problem. It is a waste of time when one engages in low-value deeds.

Be it students, young people of the MNC workforce, or elderly people, their indulgence on the quintessential trait, of putting off important tasks for doing later, is beyond doubt. Too much procrastination can have a grim and negative effect on one’s lives – failure in exams, unable to get a promotion, paying heavy fines or penalties, or it may make you feel despondent or dejected.

The will to complete tasks on time, proper planning, prioritising of various tasks among many and executing the tasks goes a long way in avoiding bottlenecks in our daily work. At the end of it all, it is up to the individual to implement the given task on time smoothly, without any panic for himself or people around him. If tasks are completed on time, free time can be obtained afterwards, which allows us to complete all the great things we wanted, like hanging out with friends or watching a movie. After all, they say, that the busiest person in the world has a lot of free time.
