Procrastination, a double-edged sword!

An idle mind is the devil's workshop

I would like to add more to it, procrastinator's mind is his permanent residence. We all admire busy people and how they give zero thoughts about procrastination, but we don't want to fight procrastination ourselves. We all would have been the greatest procrastinator at times. From assignments to laundry, the things we hate to do, we push them to the last minute. The adrenaline rush while doing it, has some magic, admit it. We really want to do it, but the pain, makes us run away from putting the efforts, we are afraid of the pain, leading to procrastination. If you could score 5 in an assignment completed last minute, think how much you could've done it if you have started it at least a day before. It gives a bad impression on people.

We think we procrastinators are good at time management, but the reality is far too away from what we believe. Setting the alarm before going to bed, Nah! Start from going to bed. We plan to get to bed by 11 pm, but one more scroll, one more app, one more video, the fear of being left out from others FOMO, makes us procrastinate even going to bed, our favorite place. FOMO plays a role too, you can't deny it. Why do you think you went to the party instead of completing the assignments? Friends? No, FOMO behind. We say we don't have the mood to do it now, may be later I'll do it. Are we sure we'll like it later? No, later, later and later until the deadline is too close or sometimes we never do it. We predict our future, but dear god, we are really bad at math and prediction. We end up hating the job more, dealing with higher stress.

Our procrastination affects other too somehow either directly, or indirectly. In a team, it leads to others doing more work because of you. Their plan gets ruined because of you, making them a procrastinate too. You impostor, turn other crewmates as impostors as well. But don't get panic, it's normal. Everybody procrastinates some other or the other task. Is procrastination really that bad? Doesn't it has any good side to it? Where is the dual nature hiding? It indeed has some pros to it, making it completely not an evil person. We have a better priority list and can deal with last minute stress, we are used to it, aren't we? While we think we don't really care about it, our sub conscious mind keeps thinking about the same, giving more creative ideas to do the job. Laziness is the mother of creativity, isn't it? Procrastination = Better end product. But too much of procrastination, you become an incarnation of the devil himself.
