How to beat procastination?

Before we start I want to make it clear that I’m the most ill equiped person to write on this topic.

Procastination is something we all struggle with. We all love breaking deadlines. Completing anything on time is really difficult.

But even procastination is an art. I’ll tell you a short incident. My accounts teacher told us to do the Unit Test question paper as an assignment on loose sheets and submit on the next day.

I had a good personal image in the eyes of the teacher at that time (as it’s just the beginning of the year). So I couldn’t have disrespected the teacher by not submitting.

What I did was, I filled 1 sheet of paper with the answer of the first few questions. Then when I had to take the second sheet, that’s when I played smart. I stapled that one sheet to another blank sheet and then detached the blank sheet.

Weird, right? I did this so that the teacher thinks that he must’ve done the full assignment because of that slight piece of paper that is still stuck with the staple. That slight piece of paper is the evidence that I used more than one sheet. Which means that I did the whole assignment but unfortunately the other sheet got detached somewhere.

Now you would ask-so did the teacher notice? No, she didn’t even check those assignments.

Btw I’m not proud of what I did. But well accountancy was never my cup of tea.
