One morning, on the way to work, Zhang San vowed to make up his mind and set about drafting the departmental budget for next year as soon as he got to the office. He walked into the office at nine o'clock sharp. But he didn't start drafting the budget immediately, because it suddenly occurred to him that it was best to tidy up his desk and office first and provide himself with a clean and comfortable environment before carrying out important work. He always spends thirty minutes putting the office environment in order. Although he failed to start work at 9 o'clock as originally planned, he did not regret it, because the 30-minute cleaning work not only achieved obvious results, but also contributed to the improvement of work efficiency in the future. He lit a cigarette and had a rest with a smug face. At this time, he happened to find that the color photos in the newspaper were his favorite stars, so he couldn't help but pick up the newspaper. Ten minutes passed when he put the newspaper back on the shelf. This is a little uncomfortable for him, because he kept his promise. However, after all, newspapers are spiritual food and an important media. As a department head of an enterprise, how can you not read newspapers? Don't say that you should read newspapers in the morning, but also in the afternoon or evening. Such an excuse will relax my heart. So he sat down and prepared to bury himself in his work. Just then, the phone rang. That's a customer's complaint phone. It took him twenty minutes to persuade the other side to calm down his anger, without even an explanation or apology. Hang up the phone, he went to the bathroom. On his way back to the office, he smelled coffee. It turned out that colleagues in another department were enjoying "afternoon tea" and they invited him to join them. He thought that he had just painstakingly handled the complaint phone call, but he could not enter the state for a while, and the drafting of the budget was a very hard work, which would be difficult to complete if he was not clear-headed, so he did not hesitate to invite him to join him and chatted for a while in the preface. When he returned to the office, he was really in high spirits and thought he could start his "formal job"-making a budget. But, look at your watch, honey, it's already ten forty-five! There are only fifteen minutes left before the department meeting at eleven o'clock. He thought, anyway, it is not suitable to do a huge and time-consuming job in such a short time, so let's leave the work of drafting the budget until tomorrow.

The finishing touch: Zhang San has many shadows of time managers. If he gets into the bad habit of procrastination, he will accomplish nothing in the end. The cost of delay is too great. Shakespeare famously said, "Time will give up those who give up time." If time gives up on you, there will be an infinite vicious circle waiting for you. If you don't wake up in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Procrastination will make you irritable. A thing that has not been completed for a long time weighs heavily on your heart, just like a stone hanging around your neck, as if you were stuck in a mud pit. How can this not make you anxious? Procrastination makes you have to deal with more and more problems I face a mountain of unprocessed work on my desk every day, but I don't know where to start. As a result, you often lose this and forget that. It takes time and effort to fail and give up halfway. As a result, there are more and more problems.

Procrastination makes you suffer psychological setbacks again and again. It will make you lose confidence in yourself more and more. You will start to doubt your ability, or take it out on the working environment, generate resentment, complain that your talents have not been brought into play, or there are always things that hinder your work.

Procrastination can also dim your future and hinder your promotion. A boss will never tolerate the repeated procrastination of his subordinates, be pragmatic and make no achievements. What the boss needs is a powerful helper, not an indecisive follower. Executives and employees of enterprises should always remind themselves of the phrase "refuse to delay everything, and start acting now". If there is something you must do after all, don't ask yourself repeatedly, "Should I do it?" Because the answer to this question is yes, all you have to do is write down the deadline you have decided to complete in your notebook and then finish it on time. If you wait until the last minute, you will not only become very anxious, but also often make mistakes or get unsatisfactory results in the process.
