But in college at least, we’re given a deadline so that somehow or the other we complete our work by the end moment, but what happens when there are no deadlines? Friends, in such cases, the procrastination may continue infinitely. There is no end to procrastination. Wasting time in college meant that you don’t get good marks, or you may not get a good job, these aren’t crucial.
But procrastinating later in life would mean that your life may be full of regrets. If you had a dream of trying your hand at filmmaking, to quit your job and become a filmmaker, but you never actually try to make it happen. You would have heard elders say something like they wanted to become great at something when they were younger, and that they couldn’t do it because of circumstances. They say that they used to have big dreams.
Often, they blame the circumstances. But they know that they didn’t try. They are now stuck with a permanent ‘What If’ feeling. To procrastinate on fitness and exercising means you will eventually gain weight nothing major, if you start eating healthy and start exercising, within a few months or years, you can lose weight once again.
But if you continue procrastinating for years, one day it will come as a shock that you have diabetes, or you’d be told that you need to put in a stunt in your heart. Some people don’t even get this chance. They get sudden heart strokes and lose their lives.
