Procrastination is defined as the act of postponing,delaying or putting off, especially habitually or intentionally.
Dozens of people are where they are now because of procrastination. The act of saying; " I will do it later or tomorrow ",has truncated people's destinies. So therefore we will be considering certain causes of procrastination today.......
#1. DEPRESSION: Depression is defined as a state of mind producing serious,long-term lowering of enjoyment of life or inability to visualize a happy future.
When one is depressed,he/she sees no reason to do anything worthwhile, such a fellow would rather sit down or go about doing the wrong things that will in turn cause him/her harm. When one is in such a mood/state,he/she tends to procrastinate.

#2. SLOTHFULNESS: Slothfulness or laziness is defined as an act of unwillingness to do work or make an effort.
Naturally when procrastination is mentioned,laziness is just alongside it,,this 2 words are synonymous.
Show me a lazy man and i will show you a man that procrastinates for a living. Lol.
When one is lazy,such a fellow tends to procrastinate.
#3. EMOTIONS: Emotion is defined as a physiological response to a situation,it is a person's internal state of being.
When a person is so emotional such a one can be said to be a person who procrastinates. For example; you planned on going over to a tenant who has not payed his/her rent for a long while,thereby breaching the signed agreement, and all of a sudden you thought it over in your mind and said..."What if this tenant has no money?". Now am not saying that emotions are bad, but deep emotions such that will make you stop what you ought to do is bad.
#4. FEAR: The Bible in Ecclesiastes 11:4 says= "He who regards the wind will not sow,And he who regards the clouds will not reap".
The fear of failure will always make one to procrastinate. When one plans to do something worthwhile,such a person must first of all eliminate fear in order to be a go-getter and not a coward who is scared of failing.
A man who fears tends to procrastinate.
#5. THE WAR BETWEEN ONE'S SPIRIT AND FLESH: Paul in his epistle to the Galatians said "For the flesh war against the spirit,and the spirit against the flesh,and these are contrary to one another so that you do not do the things that you wish (Galatians 5:17).
When there is war of who gets to rule your being by either your spirit or your flesh,then procrastination is the end result.
That is why fasting is very necessary in order to subdue the flesh and the lust thereof.
Conclusion: Lots of people died and are 6 feet under without fulfilling their destinies due to procrastination,but if you are reading this post right now,it means you are still alive and you can avoid procrastination by doing the right thing at the right time. Watch out for this 5 points and try to avoid them.
God help us all!!!
Thank you!
