Are you here because you\u2019re procrastinating some tasks by reading this piece? If yes, then that\u2019s great! Read on.<\/p>\n

Procrastination simply means to delay or postpone something that you\u2019re supposed to get done. Focusing on something less important or less urgent, waiting for the last minutes to complete the tasks, or not avoiding the distractions while working.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cProcrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.\u201d

Whether in our school life or in a workplace, personal tasks, or professional assignments, according to research, 95% of the people procrastinate to some degree!<\/span> So, basically, we all have been there, working furiously at Friday afternoons to complete a task or assignment before it\u2019s the boss\/client-is-going-to-kill-me o\u2019clock deadline while swearing to finish the next one on time, silently cursing yourself for not starting earlier, wondering what went wrong, how did it happen?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not alone, many of us have fallen into the procrastination trap more often than we think. But is it a wicked thing? Does it make you less productive?<\/p>\n

Procrastination Isn\u2019t Necessarily Laziness<\/h2>\n

Laziness & procrastination are often confused with each other, but they\u2019re very different.
\nProcrastination is an active process, whereas laziness is inactivity. A procrastinator chooses to do something other than the task assigned or the work he or she should be doing in favor of the one easier or enjoyable. A lazy person has an unwillingness to act or do the required task.

The Brighter Side of Procrastination<\/h2>\n

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. –\u00a0Marthe Troly-Curtin<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All those hours you have spent re-reading the emails & keep checking social media<\/a>, ending up clicking on the articles about frustrating airline passengers or the pictures of famous celebrities hanging out with their kids.
\nThose not-so-needed coffee breaks, or the excessive preparation of something you wouldn\u2019t be needing for the next few days, or the amount of time you were spending on some other tasks that could be safely left on next week: people will keep telling you that you need to change, but is procrastination really a bad thing?
\nTo have a deeper look into a procrastinators’ mind, you might find this Ted Talk of Tim Urban much helping.<\/p>\n

Non-procrastinators don’t exist, all of us are procrastinators, we all procrastinate things at some point. Some have a healthy relationship with deadlines, while the others are a little messed up.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a look at the history filled with so many success stories of famous procrastinators!<\/p>\n

Rejoice Procrastinator, You Aren\u2019t the Only One.<\/h2>\n
