Oxford dictionary defines procrastination as the act of delaying something that should be done because you don't want to do it. But to be sincere, it's not like you do not want to do it, but then you're too lazy to. Am i right?
When i was in secondary school, (yes, I'm no longer in secondary school 😇. Shemy is now a big girl 😇😹) there was this pastor that they usually brought to preach to we the students on the school assembly ground every Friday.
We considered the pastor very funny became he was always preaching about boyfriends and girlfriends most Fridays when he came.
But then, admidst all these, there's something that the man was always saying. He was always telling us yo beware of procrastination because it's only a device used to delay our success. Any time the man speaks, it'd just be like je was talking to me.
I know I'm not the only one that has a problem with procrastination; everyone does. Okay, maybe not everyone but most people.💯
Sometimes, you want to do sometime, but then the feeling to do it is not there, so you postpone it to another time. Then what you're meant to do by the time you postponed it to also gets postponed.(hope you get what i mean🤷)
My mum usually complains about my usual act of procrastinating everything. Iwa oroju (like she calls it😹) is so not good. As in, it's not good at all.
I remember when i was in jss1, we do wear pinafore. The pinafore is blue in color but then, the inner is white. I had used up all my white inners and refused to wash any of them.
The day before, (i.e on Wednesday) mum told me to wash my white immediately i got back from school. I told her i had heard, but then, i didn't wash it. When i remembered again, i still didn't wash it. ' Let me rest a little more.' I said to myself.
When i remembered again, that was in the evening i still didn't wash it because i was watching a t.v program and couldn't leave it. To cut the long story short, i forgot to wash it.
Waking up the next morning, i didn't know what to do, but then i had to go to school. Mum shouted at me, but then the shouting couldn't solve anything. Then we had to go for the only solution we had: i had to wear my sports wear top as the inner of my pinafore.
God knows I'd never make that mistake again. Almost every teacher and even students didn't pass by me without passing a comment. ☹️
One of the teachers even threatened to instruct me to pull off the sports wear top i was wearing and put on only singlets as the inner of the pinafore.
Infact, i was threatened to be sent back home. Being just a jss1 student and not being used to these kind of treatment, ( i mean i be small pikin na🥺😹) i was just crying.
Throughout the day i didn't leave my class for the fear of being harassed again. It was a bad experience though, but I learnt my lesson. The whole incident could have
been avoided.
Sadly, procrastination has succeeded in gaining control over the lives of so many people; young people especially.
I have decided to start a war against this dude called procrastination and sincerely you should too.
Procrastination is known as the thief of time, but then i had to rephrase it as the biggest thief of time.🤷
Time is on of the greatest asset anyone can possess. 💖
Let's fight against this small but dangerous spirit. Let's all decide to make hay while the sun is shining. 😇✨Procrastination does no good.😁
