Procrastinators vs Those who do in time.

Well, I was thinking since long time to write something which is opposed to thoughts of crowd. I always wanted to justify something which seems to be wrong. It's a skill which is needed so that you can market yourself in this competitive world and here goes my attempt for the same.

Coming back to the topic. Obvious question which comes in our mind after reading this-which is better? If we look back to suggestions by elders and teachers we may argue that one should finish the task as soon as possible. But there is always an other side of the coin. We come across several instances in our life when we say, "Gosh! If I could know this earlier I wouldn't have done that.

So in a way procrastinating till last minute of the deadline is advantageous provided your task is not hindering others' task.

Some points which are in favor of procrastination are:

1. You don't end up doing last minute changes as you will be doing the task at eleventh hour and thus leave any such possibilities.
2. There might be chances that the task gets scrapped off after some time or just before deadline. In that case you will end up doing nothing and hence enjoy on your own for that particular time period. At the same time others will feel that you did something but reverted back because of these last minute changes.

So friends the decision is up to you. FORGET ADVICE OF ELDERS. BE A PROCRASTINATOR.

Note: This art is performed by experts. I will not be responsible for any harm due to failure in achieving this.
