What makes procrastination an issue for so many individuals? Is it just a habit that creates problems with potentially severe consequences? Procrastination can begin in childhood by a person putting off doing chores, failing to complete homework, or studying for tests.
Procrastination is a precursor to failure, so it’s frequently rationalized and justified with excuses, even when they don’t make sense. For the habitual procrastinator, any excuse is justification for failure. However, each failure chips away at one’s self-esteem.
A father gave his son this advice, “Know the value of time, so seize and enjoy every moment of it. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” Think about the time you have as a gift from God. He reminds us, “There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under the sun.” So let it become precious, a treasure to be used in godly pursuits, and you will be richly blessed.
Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are;
help us to spend them as we should.
~Psalm 90:12 The Living Bible
