Procrastination

2am already awake in the morning.

Gotta be fresh gotta update blog. ( Yes , I altered the lyrics from Friday :D )

Yeah,I’m pretty sure I’ll delay and delay my next update if I don’t do it right now.Thus, the title ; Procrastination. It is the feeling you get when you’re lazy and tend to give excuses to yourself by replacing high-priority tasks with lower-priority ones and putting off important tasks to a later time.It is usually caused by laziness or anxiety.Sometimes when we put aside important task that makes us anxious,it gives a somewhat relief feeling because we know we’ll be able to finish it during the last second.I’m certain that whenever one is in a grave and desperate situation,he or she will be impulsive and very spontaneous.Thus,doing whatever it takes to finish the tasks with the minor amount of time left.

Well,deep down we all know it is always the worse outcome and should not be practiced,ever.But.Why do we still procrastinate every single time we promised ourselves not to procrastinate ever again?Only one reasonable yet ridiculous explaination : Laziness. Yes,there is a reason why it is categorised as one of the Seven Deadly Sins called Sloth along with Greed,Gluttony,Lust,Envy,Wrath and the greatest of all,Pride.Procrastination always results in negative emotions about oneself like accumulated stress?A sense of guilt and regret for not doing the important task before hand as well as social disapproval for not living up to expectations and meeting responsibilities and/or commitments.

Cures or prevention from procrastinating?Hmm,I’d say the most effective method is either movitation by someone,usually a rival or superior or even somebody important.Or a goal that you’ve been trying to achieve since a long time ago.Depending on the individual’s personality,some may find pressuring even more effective than the former.So,which do you prefer?

Motivation vs Pressure

Till next time.
