I will do it later, not now but later and I need more time do other things and rest' this is what many of us normal say when we have important things to do, it is most times more easy to us to think that we still have time and we can do what we desire to do some other time. We always think that we still have tomorrow and tomorrow is coming but most times tomorrow comes and goes but we still not do that thing we desire and before we will know what's happening, days have passed and we have not done that we wish to do. I have wasted most of my time in procrastinating and it has affected me badly, I do procrastinate but not I am determined to stop and focus on what I have planned out.
Many say procrastination is a thief that steals one's time, also a bad symptom. Doing things as we have planned them is wise and saves us from procrastinating and it also saves time, if we all do things as we have planned it and avoid procrastinating we all will rightly succeed, is not easy but it will surely help us in lots of ways, keeping to time is good and advisable.
As the last born of my parents and a girl child I had many responsibilities in my house, but procrastinating makes me not to reach my goals and do all I have to do, I may plan to prepare a food and at the same time I will tell myself let me wait some, I may also want to do the laundry and I will also wish to give it some time, before i will know what's happening i will fail to do any of them or maybe do them in the late hour, thereby rushing everything and no doing it accordingly, this had affected me many times and sadly it is still affecting me in different ways. when I have finished eating, I will tell myself that I will wash the plates but after eating I will then think that I still have time so I should take some rest, and later I will do other things but many times I will end up not doing any even to wash those clothes I need to wash.
Procrastination truly is a thief of time and has made me miss many marvelous opportunities, not only that it has also and even made me miss doing some activities that are very important and i should have attended to, it has stealed most of my time and I think is high time I stop procrastinating and focus on achieving my plans.
Procrastination can make one lazy and make one thing that there is still more time to do one thing or the other, personally it makes me lazy and most occasions i forgets things that are very important to me due to procrastination, I may set my alarm ⏰ to wake up at a particular time and later i will faul to do so and procrastinate it, telling myself that I need more rest, i can always tell myself that i will change but most times i also repeat the incidents and it is very sad.
Finally; procrastination can also cause unproductiveness because one wouldn't be able to do the important things he or she needs to do and most times end up doing it in rush and messing everything up, for me I have many plans but procrastinating has made me unproductive and I no longer reach my plans. If we all can avoid procrastinating I know surely that we will be more successful and we can achieve many goals, so let's all work hard to avoid procrastination because it is a thief of time. Stick to your plans and we all will reach our goals and desires.
