Procrastination - is murdering your energy.

 Procrastination is can be a habit if not address immediately. People who procrastinate missed a lot of opportunities in life. They said, in order to build a habit one just need to do it 3 to 5 times. Others said that it takes about 18 to 254 days. Then what happened to all the sciences when I said that it takes second to build. This is because when I was attending a workshop that encourage us to mouth vulgar words, it just stuck with so much energy to me. I do not even think it is wrong to do so. Therefore, do procrastination needs so long? 

 #Wikipedia categorized this as the unwillingness to act even though they know that it is a negative consequences. Then you will ask, why one do it? Good question. Now, why do you do it then? Be honest, we have done this before and maybe in future too. However, what is the cause for people to keep doing it?

Based on the research done, the following are some of the valid reasons for this habits. To me, I believe it is a secondary gain that one seek to have when the procrastinate. Want you to walk with me and check what is actually their reasons which you also might find it absurd.


  • Avoidance: Avoiding the location or situation where the task takes place. This could be due to fear of being in that location or situation. 
  • Denial and trivialization: Pretending that procrastinatory behavior is not actually procrastinating, but rather a task which is more important than the avoided one, or that the essential task that should be done is not of immediate importance.
  • Distraction: Engaging or immersing oneself in other behaviors or actions to prevent awareness of the task.
  • Descending counterfactuality: Comparing consequences of one's procrastinatory behavior with others' worse situations.
  • Valorisation: Pointing in satisfaction to what one achieved in the meantime while one should have been doing something else.
  • Blaming: Delusional attributions to external factors, such as rationalizing that the procrastination is due to external forces beyond one's control.
  • Mocking: Using humor to validate one's procrastination.

Now, why then do people still do it? Yes. 

If you are given a choice , what makes one choose the negative ones and not the positive ones? Isn't that a bit of a waste. You are using the same energy to explore the success but you fall of the horses when you procrastinate. 

Think again when you do it in future. Time is energy and procrastination "murder" your energy.
