Do I tend to procrastinate?

Alot of people are suffering today because of excess actions of procrastination in their life. I remember when I was very young and I see people procrastinating but I never knew that was the official name for it, I always say that they don't do what they are supposed to do maybe after they have been discouraged. It was in junior high school I then knew alot about procrastination and it's name.

Procrastination and I

I have been a victim of procrastination in the past, I was always getting tired of doing somethings that are very important and this wasn't good at all, is very necessary to avoid procrastination at all cost. I will like to say that currently there's nobody who don't procrastinate, it is now a very common thing in this planet as humans are not really perfect.

We procrastinate about alot of things and this has made some negative things happened to us. I procrastinate every week unlike before when it was very difficult to see me procrastinating, I was always doing the right thing at the right time. I have always set out goals I achieve them before the deadlines I set out for them to be achieved.

Currently things aren't easy for me both offline and online, I feel somehow discouraged, I used to have high passion for so many things but is as if something bad wants to start happening to me. I have always ensure that I do things the way thru should be done but am glad that I still have that positive and growing spirit in me as I believe I will rise again and avoid procrastinating. Am aware of the dangers of procrastinating and if I don't stop it I won't achieve my goals faster so am making measures to prevent the act of procrastinating.

Consequences I have experienced as a victim of procrastination

I was organizing somethings somewhere and I needed to visit the chairman to clear out some important things because I needed his financial support.

I was always procrastinating to visit the chairman for no reason, today I will plan to visit the man and make out time for myself at the end of the day I will just forget about it and do something else, the next day I will dress up and plan to go then rain might fall or I might receive an urgent call and I will cancel the visitation.

When the day of the event was two days closer that was the time I foolishly went to see the chairman and his wife told me he travelled the previous day and I was angry with myself.

I decided to call the man and he was very angry with me, he said he has also been waiting for me to visit him since he was aware of the event and he travelled hoping that I have already gotten money for the arrangements of the event. He said am supposed to tell him since and not when the event is around the corner. I ended up borrowing money from someone and I successfully paid the person one month later after I deprived myself three square meals a day and I couldn't buy some important things I needed.

Ways to avoid procrastination

Owing debt is very dangerous and we need to avoid procrastination because if we don't we might also owe alot of debts accordingly to the pattern of our own lives. Make a very strict goal for yourself and make sure you avoid anything that will make you not to achieve this goal on time. We must always find something that can easily motivate us because being motivated helps us to prevent procrastination as we are aware that there's so much at stake for us to be unserious.
