I struggle again with my procrastination. I have been delaying a task that was given on my first day after coming back to office on 27 June 2016. Initially I followed it up closely. But when it comes to putting all the observations in the slides, I delayed. I then promised that I will finish it on 20 July 2016. But there was no presentation and then I delayed it again until now.
It is already a grace that my team lead set the upcoming meeting agenda for me to share. So finally the benefit of doing it is much higher than the cost no matter how high the cost is.
But it is not easy when we do last minute with the expectations are still high up there. I tried to do it today but the progress seems to be very slow as the things I did are all scattered around. In other word, I could not decide on what to put and what to exclude. Then I started whining.
Thanks to my wife who reminds me to stop whining. This also reminds me on my counsellor’s question, is it helpful by doing this? Also, when I whine, it seems as if I can’t stand this feeling or situation. The question is that is that really true? I have been in similar situation before and I managed to go through it. So now I have a choice again, whether to continue whining, or continue finding ways to complete it - which often translates to just do it and accept the consequences and see that our fear is most probably without basis.
