Oh No I Don’t Want To Do It, A Procrastination Story!

by Tom Binns

Procrastination is something that can be dangerous. If you continually like to put things off until you can’t anymore, it can back fire on you. Just one time of doing this can get you into serious trouble at work. If you do it often enough, you could lose your job.

It’s a problem that many people will do; it’s quite easy to do at times. But when you know that it’s due by a certain time, you need to work on it and get it done quickly. That way if needed you have time to make corrections.

Are you a person who does this? I know I am, and well at times it can be something that is done on purpose. But in many cases it’s almost a dread of doing something, so I place it to the back of the pile, again and again.

There are many people in life who do this all the time. Sad to say at times I feel I am the same way. But that’s when the organization of what needs to be done and what really doesn’t need to be done can come in very handy.

Try and make yourself do things that you know have to be done, no matter how long you have. Sit down and just do it, don’t let it go on. See if you can find anything that will help you procrastinate less on things.

Why take the chance of upsetting a boss by putting that project off for too long? They may come to you for an update; you can lie and say you have some of it done. But what if they ask to see it and you don’t have anything to show them?

In closing, make that list and use it, focus on finishing so many of the red listed items each day. Don’t forget it’s okay to have fun once in a while though.
