Many people tend to put off things to a later date or time...Such a habit is called Procrastination which simply means To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness....

This happens when you are aware that there is some time left for getting the job done like either paying bills or even finishing a certain job- you keep putting it off until the last moment after which you tend to hurry through it, as a result may not be able to do full justice..
There are some who like to finish their jobs immediately and such people normally never have any problem like paying fine ,late payment fees or feeling unhappy because of not having done their job well...
According to most psychologists majority of the people have this habit....

May be you have not made a sincere effort to get over it.It is possible to do so by making a list of things that needs to be done and also making sure that you carry it out....

My LIC agent is a nice guy, he always keep a track of my installments by feeding them in his computer. He reminds me a fortnight in advance and even collects cheque/cash to deposit it.

My LIC agent has shifted to BHIWADI so now he does not remind me for the installments. :evil:

Mine reminds me for the ones which I have not taken through him. He has recorded all of mine even the ones I have not taken from him.

Then he really is a good agent as not all the agents do that. They are just concerned of their comission which they get for each installment we pay. :)

Most good agents have a good network just because they care for the customers needs. This is one of the best way for them to good business. I generally refer my friends to him.
Most LIC agents are very prompt in reminding you about the premium payment,mine does so almost a month before it is due and is willing to go and pay for it if I gave him the check...It is good for us and for him since he gets a small commission each time we pay the premium..

Some of mine are not executed by him but he takes care for all of mine. That makes him more favorite.

Yes that is true, what matters is the continued service and support ! My agent is very old and he works along with his wife and they really work hard for their commission ..

See I have almost 24 hours to complete my target for this month but I shall finish it in an hour or so to not to feel disappointed if any thing goes wrong at the 11th hour.

I feel that men are more organised when it comes to such things,women tend to take it easy ,probably because they have been allowed to do so..However,we have to agree that finishing things on time has immense advantages !
We should try to do our work at time. Putting some work on hold, makes us lazy and many times we forget to do that work.
Two quotes on Procrastination that are really amusing !!! :) " If you want an easy job seemingly hard, just keep putting it off doing it " and " Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to a lazy man " :cheer: :P

have you heard about this one?
Aaj kare so kaal kar Kal kare so Parson
aisi jaldi kya hai pagle abhi pade hain barson. :laugh: :laugh:

Yes I have heard and we have an equivalent to that in our language as well, which means more or less the same ...We get that uneasy feeling each time we think of the job and how it has been neglected...

I cannot see a pending work perhaps that is because I have worked for a long time in private sector that too with Tata school of thoughts those asked workers to finish the work before the time runs out for you. They do not believe in people working after office hours.

So, the work culture in private sector is much different to public sector . No wonder they are able to make such huge profits because of such a dedicated work culture....The only way we can change the mind set is by privatising or at least part privatising all our major industries and services like electricty,water and communication...
