Procrastination

Procrastination
To delay or to postpone a work from day to day is a very avoidable thing. We should not delay any work or postpone it for tomorrow whenever it is not necessary. Tomorrow is not confirmed. It will come any important work or any misfortune can follow you. Some unwanted things can be come and we can’t do any thing more on tomorrow.

Procrastination is always a bad habit. In place of it we should be ready to do the work at a time at first glance or at first chance. “Do the work, and it will be done.” In the great drama Shakespeare said by Hamlet
“To be or not to be” was the central idea of Hamlet’s misfortune. In the couplets of saint Kabir said –‘kaal karai so aaj kar, aaj karai so ab, pal mein parlay hoegi bahuri karega kab.’

Postponed work will become heavy for you because your time and mind will engage on it. You can’t do any work properly with the thought of incomplete work. It will destroy your sonorous and sound state of mind.

In view of Management delay of work or to make decision is very harmful. It is very dangerous to achieve some certain target. It draws us back before our competent. It can waste our plans, pre-plans and preparations of work. It can disorder our plan. Suppose a meeting of field officers, field workers or branch managers is organized. They all come with some preparations, their time is invested, some traveling charges are invested and all these wasted by a single postpone of meeting. Total loss of time, money and efforts is depended on the size and purpose of meeting.

It delays our making decision. It increases pending works, a large number of files on table, it creates pressure and we lost the peace of mind. Delayed works always follow you like ‘a ghost’ and you can’t sleep with peace. If you don’t care or bother by the hump of files or delayed works your promotion or success will naturally be delayed. In some cases it can be the base of punishment.
But…you can delay or postpone the things like Anne Frank says-
“From tomorrow on I shall be sad.
From tomorrow on.
Not today, today I shall be glad.”
