Life has taught me over and over again that sticking to one thing at a time can be much more fruitful. Many of us lack the killer instinct, that keeps us motivated onto one thing at the worst of situations. When we hit a problem, most of us would want to move away from it and start doing something else. It is very easy to get drifted away from a task in hand, particularly when it doesn’t go very well.
Not so long ago, i was a master procrastinator. By that i do not mean, i blindly kept pushing things to a later day. I was a sort of a person who would take 80% of the time to prepare and sport my mind to be set on a task and 20% of the time to do that task. Though this cannot be called procrastination, sometimes because my mind was not willing to do a task, i ended up wasting more time to “cool my mind down” which eventually delayed the whole task and i ended up procrastinating.
Nowadays, though i try hard not to procrastinate, it is not so easy to get rid of the habit completely. But I, definitely, have got better and no longer just postpone things just because my brain doesn’t feel like doing it… I should admit this was a tough habit to break, but there are a few ways to actually break it. Earlier, i even had a saying (a bit like a principle) that went “why do something today that you can do it tomorrow?”. My wife on the other hand is completely opposite. She wants to complete everything as soon as possible while i would like to push it to the final moments.
