Procrastination is a killer of destiny

One of the dreaded killer of destiny I have come to realised is what I personally called procrastination. It has ruined many and cut short of their life fulfilment. When I was coming up, one of the things I really battled with was the spirit of procrastination. If I had dealt with this earlier than now, I would have been better than where I am today however glory be to God for what he has done for me. Procrastination occurs as a result of negative thoughts or perspective on things.

Procrastination is a very bad spirit which if not discerned on time could shatter the life of a person. Procrastination is the inability of one not to take the accurate step at the right time and in the right direction. Most at times we are deceived that we have lots of time at our discretion to carryout a particular task. As a young man, I thought I still have plenty of time at my disposal therefore I took certain tasks with levity. Being surrounded by such huge amount of friends and peer pressure I was lured misuse my precious time on things that matters. This really made me loose focus in pursuance of what I initially thought I would become.

Procrastination normally occurs as a result of the lack of good planning, lack of to do list, etc. When you don't plan then you plan to fail or to do any thing that comes your way. I could have beautiful plans but working towards achieving them was a big challenge. Sometimes I could start a thing but before it gets deeper, I easily loose sight of it and shift it for another time. This thing affected me grossly that when I got to the secondary school, I found it difficult to do my assignment on time. I prefer rushing than taking my time to do the assignment. I would wait until it's die minute. Once I come to the class and the teacher says get ready to submit assignment that's when I will be anxious to finish.

That's how I kept struggling with this spirit until I advanced in age. Just imagine how so many things were retarded. I so much trust and believed myself such that I get clouded with so many things and no focus neither direction. Procrastination is never a spirit that one should accommodate because it never allows one to take the right step in the right direction. I have presently graduate and become a 5am club member. Most at times I wake up before that time to do my devotion and later fix the kids for school. I have been able to create my daily routine schedule so that after each day, i could assess to know the undone tasks. This helps me to curb and overcome the spirit of procrastination today.

One of the ways to overcome procrastination is to have a planned schedule and deliberately follow it till such task is accomplished.
Peer group should be avoided also because they can easily discouraged one in taking positive step. Don't always assume you have time later instead ensure you do all the needful at the right time. Have a clearly and well defined goal. Have mentor or what I called accountability partner.

Thank God I don't procrastinate doing the essential task in the morning instead I have joined the 5am club which keeps me informed and creates the right environment to achieve tasks.
