Sometimes I wonder why my mom didn't name me something relating to procrastination because I am the perfect example of a procrastinator. Procrastination to me means when you always postpone things meant to be done now for later and postpone once again until you can no longer postpone. I never do things until the deadline is in 2 hours time or less. Let me give us an example.
When I was in school, I visioned myself from home that I will read everyday and be among the top students but then it never happened. Whenever I pick up my book to read, 3 things happen. 1. My phone will be a distraction to me. 2. I'll end up sleeping. 3. I'll close the book and promise to read later which never happens until the day of my test or exam.
One good thing about me is, I'm a good crammer, word for word. This is not a good way to read because when you forget one word, everything is gone but I never learn my lessons. I read a day to my exams and even my friends wonder how I pass some courses, mind you I had carry overs which when I write the next time, I have answers to because my brain never forgets things but I never put it to use.
Now to my savings. I'm the type that really want to save but end up buying unnecessary things, from clothes and I won't rest until I'm on zeros which is bad. It's not like I don't have clothes but I always find myself buying them and I won't wear them, I dash some out and I begin to wonder if something is wrong with me. When I got my salary last year, every month I will tell myself to save but I never end up saving. I find myself in some emergency situations and I need these so called savings but it's no where because I always procrastinate and promise to save.
This brings us to consistency.
The only thing I'm consistent in is showing my face at work and doing my duty well. My saving and reading is nothing to write home about so I made it a goal this year to be consistent in my reading, savings and writing here on hive and I must say, God is helping me.
Just the beginning of this year, I saved up some money which helped me when I was sick. I paid my bills and I'm happy I'm improving on my savings and other aspects of my life. The only aspect I hope to be consistent on now is my prayer life and reading the word. As a procrastinator, it's really hard to do somethings without delaying them but I am working towards consistency.
Thank you all for your support and always reading. See you next time Hivers.
