Procrastination Quotes

Remember the last minute outcome of your school or college assignment? You had three whole weeks to create a masterpiece, but you just couldn’t get your hands off the game controller of your X-Box. Result, a barely presentable assignment marked with the grade C. Every time you try inching closer towards terminating all your deadlines, a distraction lures you into revoking your focussed state of mind or you just feel plain lazy. The rush of determination vanishes in the blink of an eye as the next mighty temptress consumes your entirety. Work impediments are, in many aspects, a common phenomenon brought forth by weak willpower, under the veil of procrastination. Procrastination is a tainted art. Some control it, while others find themselves ensnared in the labyrinth of ‘putting off till later’. ‘Oh, I’ll relax for sharp ten minutes’ is how the pattern begins and then the leisure time increases exponentially. You conclude this with ‘I’ll make up for the loss of productivity tomorrow!’ If this sounds familiar to you, it is time to get back on the track. You should be cautious not to leave a task on hold for too long, lest you want to fall prey to the trade of procrastination. Have a look at a few wise quotes on procrastination that you might be able to relate to.
