Procrastination

Procrastination! I feel uncomfortable even talking about it.

Everyone has indulged in procrastination sometime or the other... some let it become a roadblock, while some struggled to overcome it. How one deals with procrastination makes the difference between failure and success!

I've found myself struggling with the habit of procrastination. It is compounded by irrational beliefs and cognitive distortions . I remember when in School, I arrived in class late a couple of times. Least to say, my friends commented on me being late... in no time, it became a habit! Be it playground, class or a meeting, I'd find it easier to be late, than on time. I'd feel bad about it, but I was hooked- I got away with it and that was a reward in itself! Later, I had to make a lots of effort to get out of the habit. Even today, I find it easier to just be late. But with a bit of effort and rationality, I can keep time.
