Procrastination - The Undying enemy --- How to overcome by Understanding

"I still have time I will do this later" The never-ending lie we tell to ourselves every time when we do not want to do something. Well, it's the reality of our life that we look at the successful people and think about how they become so much in their life. One answer to that question is they never procrastinate.

 

 

Well, we all do this in our life all the time from our school till our job. As per my opinion, I can say that there are 4 basic reasons for procrastination.

1) Lack Of Confidence:

"I am not ready yet to start something."

Confidence plays the biggest role in our life when we decide to do something out of the box. When we decide to do something out of the box we need to build up the moral and think that we are ready to start this thing right now. We never going to be ready or confident for any work until we start doing something. So build up the moral believe in yourselves and start with small steps.

2) Fear of Failure:

"Will I be successful in this ?"

Failure or success depends on how we do the work and how much dedication we put in the work. There is either success or lesson, there is no failure. Even before starting something we think we are going to fail. And it's okay to have some fear but what else we need is what should we do when we fail. First, if you start something there is going to be some setbacks for that we need to have the backup plan for the setbacks. That way you will have a mindset to deal with the fear of failure.

 

3) Not having the correct tools : 

"I don't have the proper equipment for this 😟"

When we start to think doing out of the box things, at one point we found ourselves doing the search for the tools and things required for the execution of the work. Normal people always have a mindset which says "Ohh, he/she has everything that's why it's easy for him to achieve this.". People always think this way and make the mindset as those things are not available so it's not possible for them not me. The thing we don't understand is that everyone starts from zero and no one has the correct tools or formula for success, Everyone has seen failure no one had gotten success in the first attempt. So never think about whether your privilege or not just start the work with whatever tools you have with you things will work out.

 

4) Time management: 

"There is still time to finish this."

Having plenty of time is the most important reason people do the procrastination. People never realize that once you started the work, there is going to be setbacks you won't get the success in the first go. To deal with this we won't be having time if we start late. As writing this blog I started doing this by thinking "I have to finish this in 2 days then I will have 1 more day to clarify and fix the scripts myself if required to do the necessary changes." So in total, I spent 3 days on this blog but my original deadline I set was of 4 days to finish everything related to this blog.

To avoid procrastination we should start doing the time management and start giving ourselves a deadline. Because in other words "No one will be the winner if there is no finish line in the race".

 

 

Moral of this:

Procrastination is the human behavior which can be suppress by adding some rules in our life. At some point in the lifetime, we all procrastinate. We can not stop the procrastination immediately but we can overcome it little by little. There are many other reasons for the procrastination as sloppiness, dislike of the work, Not having fresh mood to perform anything, lazzyness. All these things are the human behavior from which we can get rid off. To finish the procrastination we have to be active, we should not have fear in mind, we should keep the deadline this way we can overcome the procrastination.
