WHAT IS PROCRASTINATION?

Procrastination simply means putting away things that you need to do now with the intention of doing them later.When you keep postponing what you suppose to do now into the future for any reason, you are procrastinating. We all as individual in one way or the other procrastinate considering the enormous responsibilities we have dangling on our shoulder. This has become a problem to individuals who have formed procrastination as a habit. Life is not all about what we like to do but things that are necessary to be done. You may not like waking up very early in the morning to prepare for work but you have to do it because it is necessary that you go to work in time. There are a lot of things in life that an individual need to do. But in this context, we are looking at procrastination as an obstacle to achieving success in your career.

People talk more about goals and plans without much reference to Mr. Procrastination as regards to life achievement. There are people with great vision and good plans to achieve their goal but the element of procrastination has been a silent killer to their dreams giving them little or no achievement as the years pass by. I believe that every individual is endowed by nature in different ways. We need to discover ourselves and start today to put away procrastination from killing our dreams.

Procrastination silently kills a man’s dream due to the fact that much people have not come to realize this as one of the obstacles standing against their progress. It is when a man identifies a problem that he can be able to seek for a solution; procrastination is a big but silent obstacle to a man’s success because it steals away time. Time is one of the greatest assets given to man by God and needs proper utilization for its maximization. This is why it is necessary to state the time a goal is expected to be realized when setting a goal. This helps to give a push as your time starts ticking from the moment you set your goal.


Moreover, the issue of procrastination if not tackled in a man’s life will leave him with a life of emptiness. It will be a thing of joy and self fulfillment for a retired man to look back in his years and smile on counting his footprints. A man with no achievements in his life can not experience the good feeling of self fulfillment. Procrastination can deny you of social and economical benefits of life. It can kill a man’s dream by causing him to loose good opportunities in life. Luck has been defined as when preparation meets opportunity. One need to be prepared in other to take hold of the opportunities life presents in other to make success out from it. If you procrastinate, you will not be able to get prepared to take advantage of life opportunities.

No mater how far you think your destination is from you, you can start from your present level in other to move to another level of life.
