My Procrasination

   My Procrastination

Sometimes, we just don’t want to do something. So we end up saying      “oh, tomorrow is okay” in many situations. I know that everyone has their own bad habits, and I think procrastination is one of the most annoying. Everyone might have procrastinated on something before, like when we put off an important task to do something else that’s more fun or easier. However, as it is called a bad habit, it’s not always enjoyable to procrastinate.

Procrastination means to put off things that you should be focusing on or need to be done right now. This has happened to me many times. I always feel like waiting for the perfect moment to begin to do something. I’m not the kind of person that can do a task immediately when I don’t feel like doing it. I think there are a lot of things to do out there except important work. For example, I always hand in my homework just before the deadline, though I know I should have done it a long time ago. As an example, I’ve wanted to start my diet because I’ve gained some weight over the last two months. I decided to eat only veggies and work out since then, but I still haven’t done anything in particular.

For a procrastinator like me, sometimes the procrastination can be useful. 

It helps me to relax, because it’s easy and fun. On the other hand, it’s a really bad habit that can bring a lot disadvantages. When deadlines are approaching, I often waste time by doing other things and postpone all the work. However, I will have to do that work eventually, so I always end up doing it at the last minute. After that, I will be nervous, frustrated with myself and everything around me. It also affects the quality of my work. It will come out rough or not as well as my other work. This reminds me of the phrase “lazy folks take most pains.”

            Procrastination has a bad effect on your work, and yourself. It is dangerous if you let it consume you. If you procrastinate, you won’t learn how to discipline yourself and may become a real procrastinator. It would be great if you can get over procrastination and create a new you! First, you must know about yourself and your problem. It can help you to understand the causes of procrastination, so it would be easier to fix. Second, quit being lazy and give yourself some motivation. Third, you should just start doing it. Focus on starting and go to work. Once you have started to do your work, you’ll eventually finish the task.

            When you procrastinate, a lot of bad things can affect both yourself and your work. You fool yourself by thinking up reasons to wait and put off the work you ought to be doing. Procrastination is a thief that steals our precious time while we’re wasting it on something that doesn’t make sense. We just have to know why we procrastinate, quit being lazy, give yourself motivation, and just do it!
