Procrastination

PROCRASTINATION
The only way out is to do it now – right away

When does Procrastination happen?

• One does not have the resources to handle the work: then organise resources keeping in mind the cost of delay/loss of opportunity.
• If one is not sure (i.e. due to lack of information/facts): Then seek information/guidance from peers, seniors or subordinates and act fast.
• One has fear that he or she might handle the situation wrongly: take up the BULL BY ITS HORNS.

If one is sure about the situation. Action in such case is rarely delayed. Delay if there could be due to delegation without MONITORING/ Laziness/ or overconfidence. So ensure required monitoring is there or sufficient care is taken to eliminate laziness/overconfidence.

Uncertainty : Yes God Certainty : No God

         Greater the Uncertainty, Greater is the need for us to believe in GOD.
         Greater the Certainty, Lesser is the dependence on GOD.


A focused and more certain approach makes the things achievable and possible. Then how to increase the CERTANITY LEVELS :
§ More detailed knowledge about the project/assignment in hand.
§ More practice of the skills required to complete the given task.
§ Usage of right set of sharpened tools. So, need to identify the right set of tools first.
§ RIGHT FORCES IN CONGRUENCE TO PROMROTE YOUR EFFORTS (do we call it lobbying)

Point A to Point B - The Life Journey

                   A focused approach in life makes achievement of the life or the carrier goals much easier and feasible. Life becomes more purposeful if the 'life goals " are clearly defined. When we have a weekend party or weekend vacation in mind, we devote a lot of time and energy planning for it. Life is a long journey and directly affects us and the people around us. So we must devote or spare ample time in fixing the life goals and planning to achieve them.

                   A simple scientific logic which I got a chance to hear few years back in one of the lecture sessions beautifully explains how clearly defined goals & a dedicated approach helps in leading a purposeful life.

                   If an object  placed at Point A  is  to be moved to Point B (say destination/Goal), then we need to apply the effort or energies in the direction A →B, so that it directly moves to Point B without any wastage of effort and in minimum possible time (depending on the quantum of the force applied. If the force is applied in any other direction then the object will end up at some unwanted location C or D which may not be in line of B - the desired Goal. Then more force and more time shall be required to align the object towards B and positioning it there.

                   Similarly we need to have clear Life or carrier goals so that all our energies are rightly focused in it's attainment without any loss of time and energy. The life pressures tend to deflect us from making it to our goals, but if we stay aligned to our goals and keep striving towards them step by step things becomes possible, feasible and achievable.

So  do devote time and fix your Life Goals. Then simply go all out for achieving them.

….but wherever possible TRY and SPREAD HAPPINESS by making the things  SIMPLER,  EASIER and ENJOYABLE for all those around you, while pursuing Your Personal Life Goals   :)
