It is quit common and most time we do it unconsciously shifting responsibilities meant for now to later just to cool off and take a breather, off course we will still come back to do it right?
Growing up one way or another we’ve heard that guy is a thief of time and somehow we say the phrase and it pass right us without understanding it, even our teachers parent and senior colleagues somehow fall victim to this guy stealing our time away from us, not that we don’t know but because we gave him full consent to do so
In the old world there was nothing like watches or anything to keep track of time while as they engage into various activities, but as time goes on they began to relate time of day to the reflection of the sun on them which cast a shadow towards a particular direction, this actually give them an actually impression of making the real wall clock, this now enhance activities and ways of doing things because they now keep track of time , they now tie activities to time
In our modern world especially highly develop western nation you find out that employees are paid according to how many hours they worked per day( recall these tying activities to time) this tells you the importance of time.
Its normal that we have twenty-four hours every day, but have you for once asked yourself how many of those hours have you channeled into productive hours , that’s a personal quest, any way today am not really talking about time in it true essence but the thief of time which I know we all are victim in one way the other
WHAT IS PROCRASTINATION REALLY?
Gotten from the latin word procrastinus meaning belonging to tomorrow, is deliberately shifting what is to be done now to latter course of time, shifting responsibilities or action meant for now to saying I will do it later, if you relate this to what we found out about time has equal value of money you realize that you have actually cheated yourself of the pay for that moment, because if you fail to do a thing now the original time allocated to that thing is gone and can never be recovered, and so your attempting to do it later is doing it in the time meant for another activities which is actually double cheating yourself cause the time it took you to do that activity would have been used to do another that would have earned you money.

THE PROCRASTINATION CYCLE
FEELING GUILTY: studies has proven it that people feel guilty when they didn’t do what thy are suppose to do at a certain time, pushng these things to later only for them to find out that the work load waiting out there is much than they can bear
PANICKING: due to these guilty feeling they probably feel unrest, unsatisfied and worried these makes one panic especially in the work place probably the boss comes in any moment what’s the way out
MAKING EXCUSES: when people began to make unnecessary excuses for something they didn’t do, it shows they are negligent and careless and this shows lack of self discipline and so the procrastinating cycle continues, if proper check is not done
WHY ACT SMART?
Time is really one of the very rare irrecoverable resources we have at our disposal free but precious, as free as it is , it runs on limit, every second you wasted doing anything that is not meaningful to you is gone and you cannot have it back and so you have to be really intentional about time factors in all you do, there’s this phenomenon that has been around us all that is the feeling of let be take a rest, I’ve done to much and so we feel weak and lazy about what we are suppose to do, so why act smart?
DO IT NOW!!!
Recall one of our children rhymes in school tick says the clock tick tick what you have to do, do quick as simple as it is that’s the whole message on over coming procrastination, do it now, just do it now, you might have ample of time left and so you feel it is alright to do it latter, one of the danger people don’t realize is that when you have lots of time to do a thing, just g ahead and do them, if you procrastinate today there’s every tendency you will tomorrow and the day after that, in other to void these just go ahead and do it if y have a longer time make sure at least every day you add a bit to the courses let it be that for a day one thing about that thing has been done so at least on average you are making progress.
JUST DO IT NOW
GO AHEAD AND DO IT. IF YOU DON’T NOBODY WILL
THAT’S THE MAGIC WORD
