When you procrastinate you aren’t just putting things off. You’re causing a tear in the fabric of space and time. Ok, that might be a little unrealistic but don’t you think you’d get a bunch more done if you knew there would be terrible consequences that would harm not just yourself but everybody around you. The thing is there are terrible consequences for putting things off. Whenever you put a task off you may make it so other people can’t get more important things done.
For example, if I was to put off doing the dishes, come supper time someone might have to use a pan but they can’t use the pan because it’s still dirty from when it was last used. Then I’ll have to do the dishes anyway and miss out on doing other fun things I had planned which I could have done if I just did the dishes when I should have.
Besides not being able to do the things you want, there are other consequences to procrastinating. One of them being disappointment. When you procrastinate and put things off you cause much disappointment whether it be from a friend, family member, or a coworker.
Ok, done procrastinating yet? If not, I have one more thing for you.
Imagine a world where everyone procrastinated. Sounds pretty bad, right? The streets would be littered with garbage, nobody would do their jobs, and nothing would get done. Now do the opposite of that and imagine a world where nobody procrastinated; it would be heaven.
Which one of those scenerios would you rather? Probably the world where no one procrastinates. If so, work towards a world like that. The thing is when you stop procrastinating it encourages others to follow and stop procrastinating too.
Alright, that’s all I’ve got for you now. I hope you had a fun time reading this and that you’ll stop being such a procrastinator. Or maybe you don’t procrastinate at all and you’ve been multitasking through four different tabs while reading this. If that’s you, I have one thing to say, “Just close some of those tabs; you don’t need so many open.” Anyway I’ll go for an abrupt end.
