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....

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 !
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...
This is common habit. That is why people miss trains and fail to get reservation in trains. Doing everything at first opportunity is the best way to get things done fast and also avoid giving bribe..
They still do it inspite of all the convenience that is available, one can book everything online these days also get some early booking benefits like reduced fares esp while booking air tickets. I also see many people paying fine month after month on their phone bills just because they dont do it on time, such a waste of money !
I just don't delay in doing any work.I just not keep it for tomorrow.Because tomorrow never comes.So whenever you think of the work do right now.
That is the best attitude there is ! The most hard working and conscientious people in the world are Japanese and Chinese and they believe in doing tomorrows work today itself , that's how they have been able to bring their economy right on top. When all citizens contribute positively there is only one direction to take - upwards ..

Very true! especially the Japanese, I think they should be an inspiration to us in many ways, they rose like a Phoenix from the ashes which was all that was left after the 1945 bombings. Chinese who after a long internal struggle with communism have now come on the top of the world in such a manner that they now dictate the world economy. I also admire South Koreans a lot, they are so much disciplined and conscientious of everything that they do, that you have to raise your hats to them!
kal kare so aaj kar, aaj kare so ab, pal men pralaya ayegi bahuri karoge kab ( Do today what you would do tomorrow. Do now what you would do today. Doom may come next moment. when will you do.)
This is what Kabir wrote.
In our country, Punabi are best example of enterprise. They came from Pakistan as refugees but by sheer hard work, they surpassed every one.

I too admire Koreans a lot, you can see it in the way their economy is progressing . They have the same attitude as the Japanese do and in a matter of years they too would be in the top league, makes one feel angry with our leaders.We have such a lot of natural resources , the only thing that has made our country grow at a slow pace is mismanagement by the leaders ..
Yes i am bad in this sometimes and it does cost me... I don't know why i delay sometimes but i feel our priorities are not clear which leads us to such positions.
None of us is perfect and this happens with most of us.But as long as we dont make it a habit I guess we are in the right path.There are times when I dont feel like doing anything but just sleep and read,many jobs get overlooked, but later I make up for it by dong extra work..I am sure that happens with many people :)

Yes Usha but then at that point problem starts because it does become a habbit... i have tried many times to overcome it and yes i am getting better... but still bad..

That is just human nature Puneet, even I too feel lazy at times and put off important things! But you have to make conscious efforts to overcome it, before it becomes a habit!!
