Why you should not procrastinate

How do I come up with what you read on here? I write everyday, I review it through the week and then pick one that’s best for you, I listen, observe and ask questions. I don’t just write what I think it’s okay, I add it to what I learn from a lot of sources.

But this week I didn’t, I remember clearly how i spent my time which is worse🙄 but I wrote only once out of seven days in a week, also completely out of the norm. I thought I had hacked the discipline thing but bro 😂😂 my lazy self just cruised with me all through the week.

It’s Sunday and I’m not ready but I know that I am obligated to be consistent, because I owe you a lot, if today passes by and you do not read from me, it feels like I have betrayed you and that everything I learnt during the week, I hoarded it and having so little control over time, there’s a possibility you’ll never hear it from me.

Me, everytime

You might think, oh it’s not that deep, just a few days you didn’t write, just one week of a missed blogpost, just an hour more of sleep, that one scoop of ice cream or one more episode is still okay. Well you can have the fun now and get away with it, but you just added a few extra days of work to your future, literally.

Whatever it is you don’t do now, to give you the life you want, you’re still going to do it at a later time,it’s not going away, it’s waiting for you to finally be ready. So why not do it now?

Well…

Two reasons you should not procrastinate;

First you don’t have control of what happens at that later time, you are not Flash either so you cannot change a past occurrence…

Secondly, time goes by fast and considering how short a lifespan actually is, you need to use the energy you have now properly, because everyday you get closer to groaning when you want to get up.

Each time I put something off, I remind myself that I’m only hurting my future self, because whatever I do now determines what I’ll be doing years from now.

It’s unfair🥺

So one more scoop of ice cream = more sweat when I’m trying to put jeans on, the poor clothe didn’t even do anything to go through such strain

Snoozing your alarm = more pressure to get things done in little time or a certified late comer

I can do it later = missing out on important stuff because of horrible time management

Buying something you don’t need = another opportunity to trade off

I’ll stop the habit when i get this/that = complications resulting from the habit

One more episode from my favorite series = less hours of sleep, ultimately leading to health issues

The list goes on and on, you know what you are doing to rob your future self of the freedom you’ve envisioned, but for some reason, you think you have so much time and keep putting it off.

I know your mind is coming up with so many excuses why your procrastination is valid, I also don’t care about your excuses.

You want it? Go get it! and if there are reasons you can’t, you didn’t want it in the first place.

Thank you for reading through! I hope you learnt something😎 till next week!! Don’t forget to share with someone 😊

    Thank you for this, I’ve always had procrastination as my biggest enemy, in my case I handle the more important task first and push the little (also important) one’s aside😖
    I commit to doing better, so help me God Amen
