Avoiding!Procrastination!
Procrastination!is!often!confused!with!‘Laziness’;!however,!there!is!
much!difference!in!the!two.!
!
Procrastination!is!a!state!when!a!person!accomplishes!something!else!
rather!than!the!assignment!that!he!knows!he!ought!to!do.!
!

!
Those!who!procrastinate,!fail!to!understand!how!to!manage!time.!This!
does!not!closely!relate!to!being!lazy,!it!is!just!that!they!do!not!
understand!the!urgency!of!a!task!to!be!completed.!
!

!
It!might!not!sound!as!serious,!but!it!can!put!you!in!embarrassing!
situations!where!you!may!have!to!deal!with!situations!where!you!might!
not!have!met!the!deadline!and!hence!may!have!to!face!the!people!
you're!answerable!to.!
!
!

Before!knowing!about!ways!that!can!help!us!avoid!procrastination!let!us!
look!at!why!people!tend!to!procrastinate!with!a!closer!eye.!!

Why!do!we!procrastinate?!
!

1.!The!task!you've!been!assigned!is!not!interesting!enough.!This!might!
subconsciously!post!an!excuse!to!your!brain!to!keep!working!on!
something!else!and!to!proceed!with!some!other!activity!you!like.!
!
!

2.!You!are!tired!and!feel!that!you!do!not!have!the!capacity!to!complete!
the!task!perfectly!today,!so!you!tend!to!wait!for!the!perfect!timing!
when!you!are!ready!to!do!the!task!just!in!the!right!way!as!you!want.!!
!
!

3.!You!have!no!clue!about!what!to!do.!This!can!also!be!a!reason!for!your!
procrastination.!Since!you!do!not!know!exactly!what!you!are!expected!
to!do!in!the!assigned!task!you!may!want!to!avoid!it!instead.!
!
!

4.!You!do!not!realize!the!urgency!of!a!task.!This!way!you!avoid!thinking!
about!the!consequences!and!comfort!yourself!in!doing!things!you!like!
doing!the!most.!!
