PROCRASTINATION
Procrastination: The Bane of my Writing Procrastination is a major issue in our world today especially in colleges. It has cost people their lives and equally given them life time regrets. I have been an inveterate perfectionist-procrastination since birth. Procrastination has been the bane of my existence as a human being. I procrastinate doing the dishes, making lunch, doing laundry and even to eat food. Growing up as a kid was easier to cope this issue – procrastination because my parents literally had to push me to do everything, starting from performing my morning rituals to bed time. But right now this issue has gotten worse because I don’t have my parents in America to push me around to do certain things. Ironically, as I sit in front of my computer wishing I was somewhere else and writing about this wide spread phenomenon, I am actually procrastinating. Obviously, I can’t count the number of times I have checked my phone for Facebook notifications, went as far as tweeting with the hashtag #I’m writing# ,let’s face it: well I wasn’t! even as I struggle to develop this paragraph, snacking, I just need to grab a glass of iced grape juice which later turned into watching one of my favorite programs “Trauma in the ER’, being a nursing major I am so interested in the program, the doctor told the parent of the boy who was rushed to the emergency ward “if you hadn’t brought him now, he would never had made it”. This made me to ponder on the food for thought I actually saw in an article I read on a site www.motivateUs.com. The writer said something very thrilling and puzzling she said” If a fireman procrastinated about going into a burning building to save a child, it could mean the difference between life and death. If a police man drove 55mph to the scene of an accident, it could mean the difference between life and death. If an employee decided to wait a few days to apply for a promotion, they would never be considered” .A little time wasted
