Later, more like never🤷

I was going to start this write up with laughing emojis cause I’m actually laughing right now, but I just thought that starting with that would probably scare you off, so I’m just going to put it right here”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”.

I’m quite sure that we all are guity of this one😬! Proudly blush😊 if you truly have never planned to do something, procrastinated and ended up not doing it😏😂. If you’re blushing right now, then you should inform me in the comment section oh cause òmò, I have a lot to learn from you then😏, come and teach me how you do it bayi🤲.

Unfortunately🥲, I have a good number of personal examples of many “laters” that became “nevers”, a classic one I’ll be sharing with you is one that you’re well aware of🤪.

Anidom! I’m sure you guessed right🙃. For the first half of last year, I planned to put something down, and in every of those months, I put nothing down😂. I didn’t realise that it had been so long since I uploaded something until the day I wrote this piece, it was 10 months since my last published post!😬. I’m sorry guys, for starving you this long😓. Being very honest, it was one hell of a year last year but God helped me😇.

Procrastination is a vicious enemy of progress in life, it’s your sworn enemy; well, after the devil😈🙃. Procrastination will constantly keep you under pressure and deprive you of your well-deserved rest. It’ll make you always be in a hurry! I don’t like the sound of that😑 and I’m quite sure nobody does🤕.

You know, there’s this sense of fulfillment that comes with doing what you ought to do when you ought to do it😉😎, having peace of mind after, and even having room to do more! Exciting right?🥳 You live in your most productive element when you do what you plan to do on time, and you’re able to give it your best💯. People will look at you and wonder what the secret is behind the balance they see in your life😉.

I’m not even going to lie to you, it’s very easy to procastinate and it can be quite difficult not to, it takes determination and courage, but actually starts with a DECISION🥸. You have to sit down and make up your mind to stop procrastinating already, cause really, it’s high time you did😌.

I know you have ideas, big plans🤑 and you’ve imagined how far you can actually go with that plan, how beautiful🥰 your life would be and how happy🥳 you would be if you’re able to accomplish your plans🤩. One thing that would go a long way in helping you is if you decide to start today. What better time to start other than the first day of the year?🤠

It doesn’t even have to be a big project🤷‍♀️, it may just be as little as your school assignment, calling that friend or family member you haven’t heard from in a long while🤭, getting your laundry done(I also detest doing laundry😂😪), saying a prayer or reading your Bible😇, reading or completing that topic😉, reading that chapter of that book that’s probably already covered in dust😶 or simply getting your chores done👍.

Sincerely, I procastinate too and it’s not always easy😔, but it isn’t something we can’t overcome and yeah, it’s worth it in the end. Totally💯.

So I urge you today, as I do myself, to start now😘, start today❤.

What’s that one thing you know that you procastinate a lot? Drop it in the comment section let’s talk🤗.

Thank you for stopping by to read this piece today❤.

Happy New Year💘

    Most times determination is what we need. You can not do all you have decided to do at once. Just pick what is important for the moment and be determined to do it. Most times you will decide to do something but if you are not determined to do it, you start to procrastinate….. it’s feel good to do the needful. Thank you my doctor for the wonderful new year eye opening piece.

      Very true💯
      There’s no determination without decision. You decide and what to do, just like you said “what is important at the moment”, be determined to get it done, then get it done.

      Thank you so much for reading❤

    Nice post right there, I guess we all struggle with this procastination of a thing, some more than others 🙃. I personally struggle with procrastinating doing things that build me up spiritually. But just like you said, I’ll work to overcome it 🥂

    To be honest, I’m highly delighted to read your write up because reading it, I felt you were directing talking to me and telling that I’m the king of procrastination (which I am, if I should be sincere to myself😀).
    One thing about this procrastination stuff is that most of the time, If not all the time, we are not that busy to be procrastinating. It’s mainly because we are not really taking responsibility of our life process and situations.

    I see your letters as a blessing to my mind because if someone should tell me that i will open it and read to the end, I will laugh I say na lie😀, but I did (It’s a blessing already 😀). I have a lot of things I take for granted all because I’m always procrastinating. I have lost a lot of friends owning to the fact that I don’t reach up to them when they needed me the most. I have a toxic habit of replying text on time, checking on friends and calling or visiting when they need me as a friend. I think is high time I got over this bad attribute of mine. Is my new year resolution and It will put smile on my face if you could help. Thank you

      Awwnn..
      Valid💯, we’re not always that busy actually.
      So sorry about your friends😪

      It’s not so easy to reach out sometimes actually, but let’s remember that we don’t only communicate love by our words, our actions matter more.
      How about you look at it from that angle? Your friends will only know how much you love them by how you treat them, plus you’d like to be reached out to when you’re down right?

      You could also try putting yourself in their shoes, and imagine what you’d actually like them to do for you, and then do that for them too❤
      It’s not easy but it’s not impossible either😊
      Start by consciously deciding to no longer procastinate.

      I’m really glad this blessed your mind Hillary💕.
      Thank you for reading❤.
      Anticipate the next post🥳

    My dear…. 😥 I can really relate. Procrastination is bad. But sometimes the reason why we procrastinate is because we have something more important to do at that moment that is better than what we’re procrastinating….. Although this doesn’t make procrastinating right.

    I think I procrastinate reaching out to people a lot Sha🤧. But I’ll be determined not to this year, just like you said.

    Thank you Anidom☺️. Timely piece

      True sha.. sometimes we actually have more important things to do but we could fix a time to get the other things done, cause they still have to be done right?
      I also procastinate reaching out to people, I think mine is more of laziness though😅😂, coupled with the fact that I don’t even like phone calls.
      Let’s be determined together pls😂 we’ll do better this year😌.

      Thank you reading Bolanle❤.

    I like the fact that you were so real with your write sha.. procrastination is really a big goal killer and crippler..😒😒…There is truly no perfect time to do what you need to do other than now..I guess one of the things responsible for procrastination is most times we are not clear about what we need at the moment. We often go for the wants and sadly by doing that we get results that doesn’t match up with our immediate needs, so we call it a quit and fold our arms. For instance, what you need might be acquiring some knowledge about how to effectively run a business and you rushing to start the business. If you spend your time thinking of how and when to start the business, you might never get to start because you are yet to acquire the required knowledge you need on how to start and that lack of knowledge will put you under fear, low morale, low motivation and with these you can barely pull up something.. Am I even making sense?😂😂..well in my head I am, so yeah..be clear about your immediate needs, and attend to them..doing that will give you a sense of morale and fulfillment and that will keep you up and active for the next move.

      Valid💯. Yes, you’ve made a whole lot of sense, truly, if we would actually just take a moment to realise our immediate needs and focus getting them done rather than our wants, we’ll get results and that would really keep us going.
      Thank you Tomi for this❤.

      Great one Anita!
      In addition, I have observed that a good number of us procrastinate because of poor time management skills. There is this feeling of “there’s always enough time” especially when we’re not under pressure of a fast approaching event or even having to give account of how much we’ve done with the time.
      I encourage us to have each day a plan of our activities for the day and make use the time management matrix–
      Things that are:
      1. Important and urgent – Do now
      2. Important but not urgent – Execute after no. 1
      3. Not important but urgent – Delegate
      4. Not important, not urgent – Eliminate

      This makes things organized and thus easier to get done. You’d also notice that you only get to do number 1 and 2 😀😀 and certain things you’d have killed yourself for weren’t really necessary in the first place.

      Thanks once more Anita

        Truly, accountability cannot be overemphasised, it goes a long way in helping us reach our goals.
        The time management matrix.. thanks for this Sam and thank you for reading❤.
