THE DANGERS IN PROCRASTINATION: by John Odebode

An effective time management skill is knowing what to do at a particular time and going ahead to do it. Hesitation to take action characterises procrastination such that one keeps delaying a course of action by postponing it till a later time. People procrastinate for several reasons but the truth is that there is no greater stealer of time than procrastination.

WHY PEOPLE PROCRASTINATE
1. Waiting for the perfect time: people that procrastinate are fond of anticipating the most comfortable and favourable condition before they spring into action. this is an act of self deception because it is better rather to make time and happen to things rather than always let things happen to you.
2. Laziness: this kills potentials in people making them accomplish less than they actually can but is paradoxically a fundamental reason why most people procrastinate. Only if you come to the realization of this truth will you appreciate time better and avoid unnecessary delays and hesitations.
3. Fear of failure or lack of courage: this act stops most ambitious people from going for what they want talk more of achieving their goals. D. L. Moody writes, " I am yet to find a man who is easily discouraged that amounts to anything anywhere. " People who lack courage are fond of carrying imaginations of what they want hoping to go for it one day but unfortunately for many that day never comes. ON THE WHOLE You have more to lose than to gain when you procrastinate. Learn to spring into action when there's a clear vision and plan of a course of action. Life is just too short to keep procrastinating. John Odebode Johnodebode@gmail.com
