A work undone is a bigger burden on the mind than it will be when actually being done!
You think and think about an unfinished work and fret and fume about its tediousness to yourself. You find it difficult to set aside a date and time for its completion and then it grows larger and larger and becomes a heavier burden on your consciousness than ever before.
Call it procrastination or call it lazyness but this tendency to postpone doing some work can be one of the biggest stress in your life. Now imagine you have overcome that start-up problem and began the work and lo! it now starts to appear easier and easier till you have finished it.So the work was not actually difficult, you were just making it difficult on yourself by imagining it to be difficult!
So how do we escape this tendency to procrastinate or lazyness? Make a time-table. Prioritize and then go about doing things according to the importance you have accorded them. Its best to start with the most difficult one so that by the time you have it out of your way you are a much relieved person.If you can make no plans at least make a start somewhere!
So easy to preach and so hard to practise, hain naa? Well let me confess I dithered a lot before writing this post of mine- I had no topic on hand and my mind was not exactly whirring with ideas. But I made a start and reached somewhere which means that I pretty much escaped procrastinating for another few days.Now I can rest easy till a bright idea strikes me and gives me a story or some gyaan finds its way to my dim-wit mind and enlightens it like this one about procrastination did today.
Till then you enjoy your blogging and stick around for more from me in the near future- if you are interested i.e.
