Procrastination

We all knew that most of us perceived procrastination as bad thing. The reality is that not all procrastination is bad. Sometimes procrastination is good if we know how to apply it properly - best apply under complex situations. It was proven many times, if we run very fast, we tends to make mistakes and spiral downward. Some mistakes really cost us times, energy and money. Some of these mistakes might be irreversible. Here is where a little bit of procrastination can be a great resource to us.

Many teething issues are too complex that seems like no quick fixed to it within immediate term. It may surprising us to acknowledge that some of our problems just do have a way of settling or working by themselves. Meaning that - the more we try to fix them, the worst they get or became more complicated. That is when a little bit of procrastination(slow down our running momentum or speed) maybe of help because we will let time do its work naturally. Another way to define this is - retreat first, and when the timing is right, then we may advance again.

This is how we can winning when time and situation not favor us. If that happened to you, remember to look at good side of procrastination. Hope you will find an answer to your problem although it come very late. Note the exception - that this doesn't applies to a do or die situation - e.g. anything that only can be accomplished within very short opportunity window.
