Have we ever thought of the reasons why some are not really making quick progress when others are doing it with ease. I sat down and I was wondering; can PROCASTINATION really affect someone negatively? While meditating over the matter, I drew to the conclusions that yes it can actually have effect on someone negatively and if care is not taken, there might be no solution afterwards. At first hearing the word PROCASTINATION is a very big word for me but I will just run through what it really means and I will talk on why people do procastinate and some solutions to tackle it.

# WHAT DOES PROCASTINATION MEANS TO ME
</center>
Many take the word PROCASTINATION as laziness but No, they are not even any way similar to each other because laziness is total deprivation from doing things which you plan to do or sluggishly handling of things which you are expected to carry out. But procastination on the other hand can be seen as the act of abandoning what you are supposed to do at a particular time for another thing which you don't really need at that moment or which does not really matter to you at that period of time. People who are lazy who really have the intention of doing a thing or thinking of carrying out something but those who procastinate always have the intention and feelings to do something but they can't actually start what they have intention to do. Procastination is finding yourself not doing the important things which really matters to you at a particular time but finding oneself to be doing some other activities.

Procastination do work with time because one won't know when the time will fly pass but one will already be carried away with other activities forgetting the important things to be done at that very hour.

# WHY DO WE PROCASTINATE
It has been seen that almost 80 percent of people in the world do procastinate and many have already missed so much important opportunities All in the name of procastination and they later start regretting the action of them not doing what they were supposed to do then and looking for the solutions when it is already late and nothing can be done to it. 

One of the reason which I see as why people do procastinate is lack of self determination, this is one of the major cause of procastination, no matter the schedule which you already got at hand if you are to carry out a task if you discipline yourself or let me say you are determined to take the task up till the very end, there nothing which will come to your way as distraction which one won't be able to deal with and set them aside but you can see some people are not ready to do anything they have in mind, some can just write out the things which they want to carry out in the next few days but they won't be able to execute any of it due to the fact that they didn't determine to do that but just a mere intention which they have.

# HOW CAN ONE DEAL WITH PROCASTINATION
To be able to deal with procastination, we should be able to motivate ourselves because there will be no one to give us any motivation of one didn't motivate him or herself because we first deal with oneself before others can give us motivation. One need to strife something because after giving it a try the zeal to complete the task will surely come through. Set a time phrase in which it will be the duration of all things you are to carry out and you start marking it out if you have started, the way you are making progress in it, you continuing marking it, with this you will be able to deal with procastination and before one knows he has already finished al the task which he needed to carry out without stress and any distraction just because he his self determine.

Also taking constant routine as an habit in which if you don't do it in a day, it will look as if you have not done anything meaningful for that day so by so doing, one will surely deal with procastination permanently.
