This is certainly one habit that I want to give up but the sad part was I am using this very bad habit to not give up the bad habit. Well, it isn't a bad habit as you think it to be when you hear the term. It is one major habit we all tend to face and we still have trouble dealing with it and that is one thing we wish to change about us if we have it in us. Well, I do.

I want to get rid of the habit of procrastination and I have been doing that a lot this year in particular. Even though I have time to do certain things, I keep pushing it for later and that eventually gets delayed. I thought I would be disciplined and follow a strict schedule but that itself is being delayed in terms of days, and months. 

For instance, I am going to kickstart in January, but then the institute closed due to covid and I thought, I will start in February but then I got covid, and when I recovered from it, I thought of starting in mid-February but then the classwork got caught up. And so I decided March would be the one, and then I pushed it to March 7th and then 10th and then 14th and now. 

There might be external factors involved but to a certain extent, you are also responsible. It seems like you are looking for reasons to push the kickstart thing or maybe you are not enthusiastic enough to do things. And instead of pushing ourselves to do things, we are pushing the things to be done asap. Also, there are certain distractions that you are holding on it for long and pushing away the things that do matter. 

The external environment could be the reason but relenting to it is the main reason that you keep procrastinating. You try to keep a routine and then after a certain period of time, you lose track and back to where you have been; the zone of inconsistencies. 

Bad habits can't be stopped all of a sudden but they certainly can be controlled. If you want to give up the habit of procrastination but are not able to because you are using that very habit to not give up the habit, you have to turn the tables i.e., use the habit against your distractions and when the time comes for you to actually do it, you don't feel like.
