Procrastination~

 Salam,
 Well, ever heard of this term? Obviously,we have not just hear about it but had experience it too right? Especially,as students..I am also included ok. Hmm..what is procrastination? Why do we procrastinate? How to overcome this major problem in our daily life maybe?
Procrastination is the act of putting off or delaying an action to a later time. The way we define things will determine the way we interact with it. For example, if we define procrastination as our bad habit,maybe it will get control of us most of the time..while if we define it as a negative tendency to put aside,then maybe we could get over it. Time is priceless you know so by procrastinating we are not appreciating every second of our life...even it is already stated in the Quran in Surah al-'Asr which means that :
103:1 = By (the token of) Time (through the ages)
103:2 = Verily Man is in loss
103:3 = Except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.
So, basically learning to value our time is a powerful strategy to overcome procrastination and getting the most out from our life. When we value something then we will eventually look after it and protect it..although it's the time that we are talking about now..
I believe that we had gone through the times where we did our last minute assignments, tutorials, projects and etc..and mmg sakitkn nk siapkn semua kerja last minit? I had suffered that once and I am trying my very best to not having the same experience again. All of us are not perfect and sometimes I know we cannot resist the temptation to procrastinate but there are ways to avoid it..
- anticipate future asgmts.
- don't put asgmts off till the last minute.
- do hard asgmts 1st.
- expect the unexpected..(if suddenly emergency cases appear)
- just get started.
- avoid distractions..and
- reward ourselves..haha
p/s : always remember our goals in life and ponder that one of the biggest obstacles in our path is procrastination-the failure to begin, to delay the start and ultimately leave our potentials wasted in the end..we don't want any of that to happen right? so,this is the time to increase our ability or improve our skills and to get to know ourselves better..all the best!
