Procrastination is a major reason for failure, but it’s seldom admitted to because blaming others is more acceptable. Postponing decisions is a recipe for defaulting on what could have been a success. I heard about a college freshman who failed all his classes but blamed the professors for being too demanding.
The problem originated when he was rescued from failure by a determined mother who made sure her son did his homework and studied for tests. Another distraught mother felt she had gone through high school twice by doing her son’s homework, writing his papers, and preparing him for tests.
The habit of procrastination leads to failure and disaster. This habit can be overcome by realizing procrastination has no positive, redeeming values. God’s objective is to redeem you and give you a new purpose-driven life when you’re ready to be transformed. God will help you redefine what to do with the rest of your life.

Hard work is worthwhile, but empty talk will make you
poor.
~Proverbs 14:23 Contemporary English Version
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than
pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who
have been trained by it.
~Hebrews 12:11 English Standard Version
