Procrastination

They say procrastination is the thief of time. I have to agree with this statement, as it hits home.

I have always been a relaxed person and do things at my own time, which usually makes me stress as soon as I realise that what I need to do is needed soon. The quality of work then also takes a knock when doing things at the last minute. It’s sad that most people including myself don’t plan their duties in order to cut down the workload.

This proves to be difficult in my situation as I am now trying to juggle with being back at school doing the btech programme, and doing all five subjects this year and working also.

With this, creating a balance with all that is going on in my life, writing a to do list is most effective, cutting out the things in my life that may consume my time and make me lose focus, such as my social life. The ‘okay’ thing about sacrificing my social life is that it will be for this year only.

Tackling the task that needs to be done, should be done or begun the moment the task has been given. The to do list also comes to play now and also breaking the task in stages.

It is easier said than done, but should be done in order to break the procrastination cycle.
