Conquering the Habit of Procrastination

The writer reflects on his habit of procrastination and how it has affected his life. He shares his personal experiences and the consequences that come with putting things off until the last minute, including missing opportunities for fame and money. The writer agrees with the views expressed in the assignment content and believes that leaving procrastination habits behind can lead to success, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment.

Procrastination is considered as a practice of carrying out urgent assigned works with less
preference (Brunnermeier, 2016). The writer in the writer is habitual of procrastination. He
represents procrastination in doing every task of her life. When he was joining the band group of
his friends, he developed a lyric which was also suffered from procrastination. Due to this habit
of the writer, the teachers in the school complained the mother of the writer and he subsequently
gain warning again and again. But one day he realizes the side effects of the procrastination. But
all this happened in a day of June when he went for surfing to try to unwind. He expected very
much from that day because it was not a simple day. It was special because the beautiful ways of
the writer life are going to start from that day. But he lost it and not focused it seriously. After
missing that golden chance, he felt very disappointment. He also felt himself paralyze who
cannot do anything in his life further. Yes, Adam Green feels right he lost all opportunities due
to his habit of procrastination. It can be beneficial up to a certain limit, but it is necessary for the
writer to understand the importance of time and opportunities. He tried to understand himself
that he would be able to catch the wave at the last moment but it was not so. Thus, he realized
that the unridden ways are like such waves which are not coming again. He thought that these
ways give me large satisfaction, achievement, and fame but he was not able to do so.
I agree with the views of the writer. He lost such opportunity which can provide fame and money
in future. Due to his procrastination habit, he loses all his necessary things (Mullen, 2014). The
most important thing is confidence and self-trust which the writer lost completely. Confidence
and self-trust are those important things which can provide success and large satisfaction to
someone (Gustavson, 2015). He should improve his habit in beginning when his class teacher
scrolled him and gave last warning. On the other hand, the father and mother of the writer should
also come forward and take a strict action against the writer. Yes, I also lost some opportunities

in my life, but I improved them on a timely basis. I got lots of punishment from my teachers and
sometimes marks in exams were also deducted. But my parents and teachers give me huge
support to improve these. Procrastination taught me the value of time. After realize that I passed
the deadline, I felt disappointment which reduces my morale. But after learning the importance
of time and leaving the habit of procrastination, I got various opportunities to prove myself and
reached me there where I can utilize my skills and capabilities in an efficient manner.
Procrastination worked as a hurdle in my progress because it makes my habitual of enjoying and
not doing my assigned task and responsibilities. This will put the negative effect on my skills and
habits due to which I did not receive any opportunity, but after leaving it, I got opportunity and
importance from everywhere. If I am not a procrastinator, this article doesn't have any sense for
me because I understand the importance of time and performing my task in an appropriate
manner. In that condition, I will be a successful person in the world, and I have everything such
as name, fame and money which can give high satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment to me.
