We all have one or two task to complete and at the end of the day, we all give reasons of why we don't accomplish it. I want us to realize that procrastination is a thief of time, though many people believe is a laziness stuff but it is one of the reason why we don't achieve our aim.

Many at times, we find ourselves doing something even when we know we have another thing in mind. Now what is procrastination?

Procrastination simply means when people delay a particular important task or postponing a work till further notice.

#### Why People Procrastinate
Anxiety and failure can lead to reason why people procrastinate or working in an environment where they don't like. The fear of losing in a particular task makes people delay the task because the can't just avoid to fail in that assignment.

Another reason why people do this is when their goal is big or abstract and lack of clear definition. People also procrastinate with a particular task they will receive the reward later. 

In the beginning of the year, you always see people making resolutions and plans on what they really want to achieve in the year but you will see them using the first 6 months to plan for it and using the remaining 6 months giving reasons on why they don't achieve the goal and at the end you hear them saying i will do it next year. 

People who wish to write a book may keep delaying writing it because they want to perfect every line or when they are being afraid of evaluation.

So there number of reasons why people procrastinate which is very bad and to the entire society where they find themselves.

Students also do it when they don't care about the grade they have in a particular examination because they see it as not being too relevant to their career.

#### How To Handle Procrastination

The first thing to do is to accept the fact that you procrastinate and that will really gives a kind of strong determination towards achieving it. If you realize you have been setting abstract plans before, try and make it more concrete and this will stop you from procrastinating.

Another way of stopping procrastination is to set up anti procrastination strategy either by having someone to remind us on that task we have set for ourselves. 

#### 3 reasons why procrastination is a thief of time
1. Time Never stop
2. Time continues forever
3. Time is a resources that can't be replace

When ones realize the value of time, he/she will make the best use of it and stop procrastinating.

Note: Procrastination is different from laziness.
