I have seen many people who just forget to pay their Electric bills or such type of important thing on time and pay those things with late fee.Some have this habit.But many people lack to pay because of the monetary problem. Which make to pay with late fine.But those who can pay must change this habit.

That doesnt make sense, since it is better to pay before and save on the money rather than pay late and spend more esp when they have monetary problems...I too see that when you go early to pay the bills there is hardly anyone,but on he last couple of days there are long ques...
Ushaji you have very well explained the meaning of procrastination with example. I like it. I agree with the psychologists that majority of the people or 80% of the people has the tendency to delay their work due to this habit.
Yes Devyani, most of us have the habit of putting off things and then rush through things at the lat minute.Students study just a week or days before the examination ...it has often been said that people work only when there is a deadline given to them..
I feel very uneasy if any of my work however small or unimportant is pending. My mind never lets me sit unless the job in hand is pending or not finished. Even a small job like bringing some thing from the nearby market which I can bring in minutes can keep me poking unless the job is done.
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.
Yes I too feel that it is better to finish your job on time.Now , with the internet , I am sure a lot more of this is happening since you can easily get addicted and put things off..

I thought you would say that sunil, since I felt that you would do things on time :cheer: , the very dedication with which you work online shows that :)

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....

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.
