"Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy." Wayne Gretzky
Procrastination is deadly. It kills people's dreams. It doesn't allow the dreams to be realized. Majority of people are victims of procrastination so much that their chance of accomplishing something in life has been stunted. Make an observation around the place and you will notice how people are putting off things easily without much consideration. It pays a lot to put off things for another day.
Procrastination is indeed a disease and it is depriving people the lifestyle they deserve. People procrastinate things because they don't know the value of time and they don't know how to divide their time. People must seize and enjoy every bit of their activity that has to be done at a particular time. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination must creep in and you must never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. There are many people who are the victims of idleness and procrastination.
Almost everybody was affected by this disease of procrastination some time or the other. So everyone knows what pain it gives to people when they put off things for another day. I used to be a victim of this disease. I would put off things for another day, week, month or year and still I couldn't start off and finish things. It was bad and I hated it. The procrastination was killing my dreams and assassinating all the opportunities that were coming on my way. I decided to take action and heal myself from procrastinating. When I took action and began to finish the things on the same day, a new feeling of confidence grew within me and I found it was a great feeling. I loved it and then on nothing has stopped me ever.
I would truly recommend people to stop procrastination because you won't get anything by putting off. The precious time is not waiting for you and your age is not remaining the same. You should never allow this disease to influence and take control of you. At least start something which you like to do and do it everyday, may be you can paint, or sketch something or train your voice. Once there is momentum, you will be led to do the activity daily because it would become a habit for you.
Many dreams and goals have been killed and buried by procrastination. Procrastination is contagious and it can affect anybody who is not strong and focused. It makes easy things hard and hard things still harder. But if you decide to do something regularly, you can make hard things easy to do joyfully.
If you don't value and consider yourself and time important, you will always tend to procrastinate things. "Until you value yourself, you will not value your time.
Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it" ~ M. Scott Peck So it is important that you value yourself and time.
You may delay things but the fact is time won't wait for you. The best way to get something done is to begin and you must continue after you begin. For majority, doing nothing is a habit and they won't change because they are used to it. But it takes courage and conviction to break the habit of procrastination.
Procrastination sabotages your life and dreams. So better watch carefully and do it right the things which you want to do. I am sure you can heal yourself from this disease. You can overcome easily, if you do your work daily. Of course, procrastination is a grave where your dreams can be buried but you should never allow it. Do the things today and complete rather than putting off.
