Steve's Story
It's 2 hours until the deadline and Steve , just another typical worker in an office of a huge-a** company , still has all these tasks to do in order to carry out that damned monthly report for his much hated boss. Soon after ,Steve began inevitably questioning himself , asking the same thing over and over again : why on Earth couldn't he buckle up and finish those tasks earlier ? It's no big deal for him, since Steve is still a skilled asset to his firm . But, doing something from which one derives sheer enjoyment is quite tempting (nobody denies that). As a matter of fact, Steve decided he'd let it slide this time too and ignore all those sheets of paper filled to the brink with boring monthly data (the most obnoxious thing in the world , seriously ) , until he'd be feeling in his element to get to work.
The catch is: he did it the next time , and then again and than another time . Long story short , Steve had lost himself completely in the vicious battle against routine and boredom , while being unaware he wasn't meeting the time requirements set to him . How lazy of him . As a side note , all that he became now is nothing short of a heavily problematic worker with more shortcoming rather than achievements, with no sense of responsibility whatsoever and with a mess of a schedule to cap it all off.
After taking a huge glance at all this s*** Steve is currently knee-deep in , he came to the over-arching conclusion : it all could've really been avoided , if not for the PROCRASTINATION he was into .
Don't look at the capped word like that . I'll explain everything in due time .
Basically , Procrastination is a psychological act of replacing high-priority tasks with lower-priority ones or postponing them to a later period of time in order to engage in a more joyful and pleasant activity .
It's time for the morale of the story: Don't be Steve. Don't procrastinate. Get your stuff done in time, than you're free to do whatever you desire.
