Win the War Against Procrastination
|
By Kathy Simmons
Ask anyone you know if they struggle with procrastination, and you will most likely get a similar reaction—a sheepish smile and affirmative nod of the head. We all can relate to the temptation of putting things off—particularly those tasks we don’t enjoy. Sometimes we even attempt to present this nasty habit as a respectable choice! How many times have you claimed to “work better under pressure,” or promised yourself to finish a task when you were “in the mood”? These rationalizations sound good on the surface, but in reality you’re delving in self-deception. Sure, the adrenaline rush of waiting until the last minute might be exciting. Don’t forget however, these unwelcome procrastination by-products (none of which will enhance your career success): a higher chance for errors with less time to correct them, increased likelihood that unplanned events will throw off your plans, and less peace of mind as you carry the burden of unfinished business.
