Procrastination, the act of doing something later when you can do it now, it’s a very big issue a lot of people run into, after all, who wouldn’t want to do something later instead of now. As it goes ‘Thats a problem for future me.’ This is not a good thing, and I’m going to tell you why.
First off, why not do it now, when we put things off, we look at it like I’ll do it later, but when it comes time for it, we either complain or even put it off again, creating an endless cycle where the task is never completed. I personally have run into this specific issue a lot where I don’t want to do something at the time and go ‘I’ll get it done late.’ But then, I never do. All that usually happens is that I am getting in trouble for not finishing the task. Outside of it being directly harmful to you it could harm someone else. For example, let’s say that someone’s birthday is coming up, in about a week, you still need to go to the store to get their gift, on the first 2 days you say, ‘I still go a week.’, the next day you want to play your game, or watch T.V, or draw. You end up forgetting until suddenly, it’s their birthday. You’ve forgotten all about their gift and end up making them feel bad on their special day. Do you see why it is said that procrastination kills?
