I'M GETTING EXHAUSTED!!!

Ekale gbogbo ile that mean pe, good evening everybody. The week is running really fast ooo like I could not believe it yesterday when it became night mehn. The birthday was so short and so, I have decided to have a birthday celebration for a whole week since tomorrow is my daddy’s birthday. Please take out time to wish him a happy birthday for me by leaving a comment, he would see it. So, yesterday, I wrote about the effects of procrastination and I hope we are following and that the post is actually relevant to one or two of us.

Today, I would like to continue from where I stopped. In case you didn’t get to read yesterday’s post, please check it out. Thank you. The effects of procrastination were categorized into six and three of them were treated yesterday; which leaves us with work, relationship and quality of life.

At some point in the life of a procrastinator, such person tends to face issues at work or in his/her career. Pre-occupation with that ‘thing’ that is being put off can lead to reduced effectiveness in decision-making, reduced contribution to team working, increased likelihood of mistakes, outbursts and burn-out. Procrastinators suffer when their careers crash or when they otherwise fail to reach their potential.  I wonder who would want to associate with someone who would not be a value adding personality. And I’m sure you would agree with me that it is going to be a dent in a person’s career journey and so we will run away from procrastinating.

In relationships, a procrastinator does not make good company because he/she showcases constant nagging, blames people around him/her. One very important effect that is inevitable is that at a point, procrastinators get really busy as a result of the workload and so they get preoccupied that they isolate themselves, becoming less aware of people around them and less loving. Procrastinating is really bad ooo because at the end of the day, they become loners because people will not just want to associate themselves with them.

When I say quality of life, what exactly do I mean? It means the entirety of one’s existence. You might be wondering; what has procrastination got to do with this? Trust me; it has a whole lot to do with existence ooo. One’s time is equivalent to one’s existence and so, whatever one does with time affects existence. And so, for procrastinators, there is this sense of spiritual emptiness, such people’s abilities to visualize a positive future is reduced, sense of perspective is lost. Above all, for procrastinators, there is a thought that life is gradually passing them by and that growth is being stunted.

Above all, procrastination is a behavior that leads to stress, because it makes plans and wishes fail at what should be the point of fulfillment: Planes take off, deadlines pass and jobs go to other applicants (the ones who got their resumes in on time).

It is at the junction that I would like to drop my pen. I hope this helps someone because I am gradually learning my lessons and I would not in any way want to experience any of the effects of procrastination. The next thing that should be running through our minds is how we can overcome this ‘thief’. This would be coming up tomorrow. Please anticipate. Thank you.

Much Love,
