DANGERS OF PROCRASTINATION.

Some years ago, i had just finished studying on a desk close to the window, i ought to have taken my books from the desk to put in my backpack but i was too lazy to do that. I told myself that i was going to do it in the next ten minutes because i wanted to chill for a bit. Ten minutes became twenty minutes, twenty minutes became forty minutes and forty minutes became one hour and my books still laid on the desk. All of a sudden, rain started falling heavily that rain water actually poured into the house from the window. My books became wet, i was sad and angry with myself for not doing the right thing at the right time. It wasn’t funny that day, i had procrastinated and i regretted procrastinating. Since that day, i avoided procrastination like a plague.

Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something. It is a deliberate action which comes with it’s consequences and i am sure that most people has procrastinated in one way or the other. One truth is that the consequences of procrastination can be dangerous.

The dangers of procrastination includes wasted opportunities, damaged relationships, depression and also poor achievements but the good news is that procrastination can be prevented by developing a “do it now” attitude and also by effective time management.

Discipline your mind, avoid distractions to avoid procrastinating and you will see that you will be able to achieve more than you can ever imagine.
