    REASONS FOR PROCRATINATION

    1. Being overwhelmed by the size or complexity of the task or


    situation.

    2. Feeling inadequate or incapable of doing the project.

    3. Lacking interest in the goal.


    HOW TO BLAST THROUGH PROCASTINATION

    1. Break the project down into small, manageable steps.

    2. Schedule each small step into your calendar over the span of week.

    3. Mark of each step as you complete it.

    4. Ask for help from experts or management.


    ime management is what many people think or dream about all times, but don’t easily get into achieving the same. It is because time management
    lies in managing one’s tasks in an effective manner. And, this cannot be done or learned overnight. It requires some (actually a lot of) practice.
    Hence, while most people think all the time about time management, they don’t get into action. This may be due to the following reasons:
    They think that their kind of job or lifestyle does not require time management and only business people or rich persons need it.
    They don’t find a compelling reason to realize the need to manage time effectively while all tasks can be done as they appear, just like that.
    There is nothing wrong in having these two notions. But this article will help you to think out of the box. If you know the bad effects of poor time
    management, then you will not take it so easily. Here are some of the key disadvantages of poor time management.
    Stress:
    The first, direct and spontaneous outcome of poor time management is stress. If you are the one among many others who search the internet for tips
    and techniques to stress management, you will have to do your search for tips and techniques to efficient time management. Stress due to poor time
    management can be in any of the following two categories:
    Stress due to flooded tasks that await you one day and you have no idea on how to deal with them.
    Stress due to picking up tasks without prioritizing. You choose to do task 2 now while task 1 awaits your attention, and hence you are stressed about
    task 1.
    As you can see, these two categories apply not only to business people or rich persons but to everyone. The sad fact is that if you are a person who
    poorly manages time, you are not stressed only on occasions, but accomplishing your day-to-day tasks will be challenging. Leading a stressful life
    (due to poor time management, while you will be also stressed due to many other reasons) is not at all healthy.
    Inefficient management (general):
    A person who poorly manages time cannot manage things in an efficient manner. Certain things in the list include tasks (which again includes email,
    learning, executing, follow up etc.), people (if you are in a managerial or supervisory position), family, business and so on. The list consists of all
    kinds of stuff from very basic to complex levels. So, poor time management will leave a big impact on your lifestyle, on the whole.
    Procrastination:
    It will be appropriate to say that procrastination branches from poor time management. Considering the two categories mentioned under ‘Stress’
    headline,
    When you have flooded tasks and if you are poor at time management, you cannot deal with all of them. You pick some and do them. Again since
    you are not good at managing your time, you don’t complete tasks on time, you do not follow ‘proper methods’ to complete tasks in an order, and as
    a result you will have tasks that are either incomplete or not attended to. You leave those tasks for tomorrow.
    When you cannot accomplish tasks by looking into their priorities, things go badly wrong. You spend time on a task which can wait, and hence you
    either partly complete a task that cannot wait, or postpone it for another occasion.
    In any case, since you cannot manage time effectively you either postpone tasks as a whole or postpone them partly. Procrastination again is so
    unhealthy since in order to perform a procrastinated task, you either have to squeeze your tasks or leave some other tasks unattended, on the day you
    postpone the tasks to. You can ultimately encounter a pile of incomplete or poorly done tasks.
    Imperfection:
    As I have just pointed out, most of the tasks that are poorly managed are performed so that the outcome is not perfect. The point is, once you do not
    do anything about managing time, you cannot also do anything about imperfection. Your imperfection in this case is not because of your skill,
    knowledge or moral support but this is because of poor time management. For the former case you can do something to improve your skills,
    knowledge and also to acquire moral support, but for the latter you only have to start to manage your time effectively.
    Lose name/fame/branding:
    If I am the boss of an IT company, I do not value all my employees equally (I am not talking about their posts or positions). There are some
    employees who always complete tasks or projects on time, have action plans towards a goal/target, manage their team very well so as to get optimal
    outcome from all the team members and the team, work in a systematic manner, manage their working hours effectively and so on. As the boss, it is
    not a problem for me to easily remember the name of such a person regardless of what his/her position is. I always associate trust, reliability, best
    results, and in general a good name or a positive impression to these kind of persons. Now just think of those employees who are always irregular,
    unpunctual, do not complete projects on a deadline and so on. Isn’t it really hard to establish a good name with poor time management?
