“I’ll just do it
later” is what most people always say when they have something to do but is too
lazy to do it even though they have free time. They prefer sitting in front of
their computers playing games and checking their facebook statuses rather than
starting their work.
Procrastination is
what usually happens to students and sometimes even to professionals. It has always been
a question of why do they keep on procrastinating though they have been
allotted enough time to finish their works.

Due to the different
factors, students tend to set aside the important works and choose to hang out
with friends instead. Moreover, they are more interested on checking the latest
K-Pop Dramas or music that showcases their favourite idols than checking their
notes. Most especially, the advent of the high technologies is the main
distraction not only to students but to working adults as well.
Nowadays, the more
important question to answer is not why do people procrastinate but how will
they be able to stop it?
First, make sure that
all the tasks are orderly written in a daily planner to avoid forgetting it.
One reason for procrastination is remembering a work that needs to be done at
the last minute. Also include a specific date when it will be submitted. Make
sure to give a day allowance before the deadline so that it can still be fixed
if there are any corrections.
Secondly, set aside
the distractions such as computers and parties. If the work needs to be done in
a computer, make sure not to open unnecessary tabs for it will delay the
completion of the work. Moreover, reject party invitations especially if the
project needs a lot of time to be done. Parties can have an extension but a
deadline is absolutely a deadline especially for strict professors and bosses.

One key to stop procrastination
is time management. If there are many things to be done make sure to use your
free time wisely. Avoid making excuses every time you’re not in the mood to do
your work. Avoid saying “later” because later is not always better.
Moreover, working
individually is much better than working with group. The work area must have
plenty of space so that you can move freely. Working alone is also an advantage
when it comes to thinking and planning. It can also save time that may spend on
talking and chit chatting with friends while working. Silence in the work area
makes your work smoothly and easily done. But however, if it needs to be a
group work everyone must know how to set aside their social issues over work.
Lastly, but
definitely the most important thing to do is to know your priorities. Set your
mind to the work and focus. This will help in getting better with your goals.
Setting your priorities is also a proof of being a well self-disciplined
man.
At the end of the
day, it all depends on the decision you’re going to make. If you want to get a
high grade or be promoted in your work, then do your job beforehand. If you
have greater plans for your future, you must start doing your work right and in
time. Stop procrastination! Stop it now!
