“Laziness is the mother of all bad habits but ultimately she is a mother so we should respect her”.

Of course the above lines are true. We should respect laziness and her sister procrastination.

Procrastination



Before starting with the procrastination, Here are few words about Procrastination. Procrastination means to avoid or continuously postponing something due to various reasons. You may have a wonderful idea that have the potential to change your life for ever. You may become a trend setter but that feeling “Am I worth it?” , “who is going to care about my work” and “My life is over if this thing failed” etc. Don’t worry these feelings are common for everyone. But ultimately not everyone are stuck with this mindset. Your coming out matters. It’s only a matter of your determination and you have to believe in yourself.



Because successful people used to do what unsuccessful people hesitate to do. So once you come out of this procrastination, you can be able to know the better version of yourself. Let me give you some reasons why people Procrastinate :



• Distraction



• Self deprecation



• Poor Scheduling



• Laziness



• Lack of motivation



But what if I tell you procrastination serves its purpose sometimes. Let me tell you in detail.

Purposeful Procrastination



Sometimes procrastination does its very purpose, because it will help you reveal the better version of yourself. Just try to imagine this scenario , consider you are working on a certain project and you somehow managed to finish that soon before the deadline. But your conscience keep telling you “This part must have done better”, “I could have done better” and “I should not be in a urge”. This clearly means you just left a vacuum in your work. Having mere motivation without discretion is always considered as a trash. You should know your strength before going to war.

Some real life stories



Avatar



Development of Avatar started in 1994 as a 80 page script. The filming was planned to start right after the completion of Titanic. But we know filming the Avatar at that time was not at all possible. You can say that by just watching the film. As you know the film was only released in 2009. What if James Cameron abducted working on the Avatar ? we could not be able to encounter the biggest work of Hollywood industry. It’s only because James Cameroon chose to wait and that perseverance is a grand success.

To kill a mockingbird



One of the greatest work of the American literature was actually a result of continuous procrastination. Harper Lee’s editor kept continuously pushing her for better story. They even changed the characters and plot a lot. But Harper Lee didn’t rebelled against her editor, but she listened and kept editing until it became the one we know. It won the Pulitzer prize in 1961. The first version of this story was released in 2015 under the name “Go set a Watchman” and it was not a big hit(yeah they changed the title too). What if Harper Lee and her editor hadn’t procrastinate? Well I wouldn’t have mentioned her in this article in the first place.

So thought of the day :

“It’s better late than nothing”
