Procrastination is the thief of time

in advice •  7 years ago 

Are you the person who puts off work intentionally or habitually?
I was wondering the procrastinator is likely to leave all the festive shopping until the festival comes in and say where the sweets & decoration are.

“Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

Individuals often delay work to shun situation, to put off making a decision, because they think “they can work best under pressure.” This causes numeral problems in workplace, even when only one worker is guilty of procrastinating; take an example of what procrastination can cause to other employees’ workloads to pile up as they wait for the Procrastinator to get around to doing their piece. This can cause frustration and umbrage which further leads to tension. As responsibilities and burden fall on others, co-workers may lose respect for the procrastinator. The major ruin is that no matter how able-bodied other employees are the production declines.

Shun the excuses and the unconstructive approach & outlook, and get things done on time. Below are 3P’s for reducing procrastination among employees: Prioritize, Plan and Prize

Prioritize all your tasks and make a list of work on daily, weekly, and monthly basis, and know their order of importance. Or if you’d prefer, get the worst task completed first and out of the way first, as this will prevent that hoary cloud from looming over the toil and diminish the rest of your day.

Plan every day before you begin the task of the day, make lists. Know what needs to be done and when each item needs to be completed. Set timers or alarms if required, or planner to schedule out slabs of time. Planning will help to relieve last minute stress and frustration.

Prize and good pat-on-the-back or incentives from the manager will encourage in keeping up the high-quality work and eventually, it will get accomplished.

“My biggest regret could be summed up in one word, and that's procrastination.”- Ron Cooper

With above quote just think what you want to do as regretting is just not an option for anyone....
