PROCRASTINATION AS A KILLER… | PAUSE FOR THOUGHT Week 36

in #pauseforthought6 years ago

Putting things tomorrow when they can be done today is more than common to some of us. We delay things - some very important things in life and we prioritize some petty things for the temporary comfort.

This unfavorable behavior is what making people suffer and fail. Actually, all of us are given the same amount of time to do the things that we want to do such as achieving our goals in life. We have many 24 hours to plan our goal, to act, and to make it a reality. But we don’t. We give more importance to things that do not matter and do not make our lives improved.

No, life is not unfair in terms of time as we are all given the exact amount of time everyday. Although our circumstances are not the same but what is constant is the length of time that we are given every single day. So we should never pile our reasons defending our argument as to why others are successful and we are not.

The real problem is procrastination. We never completely value the time that we have and we never utilize it in a more productive way. In this internet generation we are slaves to technology, we allow ourselves to be a complete servant to social media to the point that we are getting lost and not being able to start doing the dreams that we beseechingly want to attain.

Procrastination kills our dreams more than ever. We think that we still have so much time tomorrow thus postponing has become a dangerous habit. We exchange temporary comfort such as spending so much time on social media platforms scrolling, watching videos, laughing ourselves out with some memes, or worse responding tirades against others, to the ultimate comfortability that we could have had if we did value our time in the very first place.

We are all guilty of this kind of practice. We all waste our time which is supposed to be spent on things that weigh more.

However, it is never too late to change our old rotten habit and start correcting ourselves. Procrastinate no more and let us begin to act in realizing our long overdue dream.
