I grew up with two civil servants as parents and our house was quite far from their office.
At a very tender age, I learned to be up and doing, firstly my parent woke up by 4 am and by 4:30 am we all were up for morning worship and then we began our house chores.
It got to a point that my circadian rhythm got used to this and even on public holidays or weekends, my eyes see wide open by, 4:30 am or I get the urge to get up and pee by then.
This lifestyle has helped me in all spheres of life, it has shaped me to be a very disciplined adult, one who keeps to time in everything and knows the importance of punctuality.
Aside from being a very good timekeeper, I have also learned to prepare ahead of time, I do not just go with the flow, I am sure to take my time and begin to prepare gradually before D-day.
I realized that planning saves us so much stress and time, that we are more relaxed in sorting things out and thinking properly.
Take for instance I have a presentation, I am sure to read ahead and practice a lot of times to be very eloquent.
I love to get things done as soon as possible, I learned from my dad how to prepare ahead of time, in my country, we do have power supply outages, so once there's a power supply, I ensure to iron my clothes that I would love to rock throughout the week, and that makes it a lot easier to get dressed throughout the week, looking neat and attractive even when the light is gone.
A few friends have asked me about my lifehack on that as it is very noticeable that the bad effect of the power supply has nothing on me.
This applies to my house chores like doing laundry, I do hate to heap dirty clothes, so I make sure I get it all done almost immediately.
Living my life this way has saved me a lot and made my life more productive and much easier to carry out a lot of tasks within a little time.
Waking up early in the morning pays off, as one has a lot of time to get things done before the chaos of the world begins.
Time to meditate, exercise, and a lot of time to fix your house and yourself before the main activity of the day begins.
It helps you to stay agile throughout the day, as there is no better way to be mentally stable than experiencing the serenity of the world at such an early hour.
Procrastination on the other hand often leads to frustration and disappointment, it breeds laziness and gradually steals time and joy, as one would not be relaxed to do something, thereby leading one to stress and burnout.
It can also make one lose a big-time opportunity which would have made their life much better. I do not love to procrastinate because of the bad effect it does.

An early riser! I think much of it has to do with the erratic power supply over there. I was up at 3 this morning. Various factors determine whether I get up or nor and whether I procrastinate or not!
Were you never tempted to become a civil servant Amie?
I was tempted to become a civil servant, but life got in the way Uncle T hehe.

Procrastination imposes extra strength and hard labour on its victims.
As the poem says
"Tick says the clock tick tick
What you have to do
Do quick".
You are very brave for not allowing procrastination to overpower you.
Such a heartwarming comment from you, thanks a lot.
I've really learnt alot from this article, I'd work on myself to be an early morning person and stop
I'm glad the article was helpful, thank you.
Reading your post, I can tell we have similar things in common. Just that, I was so lazy while growing up and would always grumble anytime mom wake me up early in the morning. As time goes on, I became accustomed to waking up early in the morning and I can tell the benefits of doing that today. Waking up early keeps us away from procrastination when we already planned out our days.
