The Blog Of Dysfunction

I have been inspired by my now-regular visits to life hacker.com to write about what I am really good at-procrastination(Among many other things, all of which are ingredients of a sure shot formula for professional and personal mayhem.)

The 7 Habits of Highly unsuccessful People

1..Laziness
Is hitting the snooze button the first thing you do (over and over) every morning?
Are you the type whose alarm clocks’ snooze button has an average lifespan of 3 months?(or less).
Would you rather sleep till 10 every morning than wake up at 7 am and go to work/school/college etc? Well, Join the club.
Quoting one of my fave books “A little sleep a little slumber a little folding of hands , and poverty will come on you like a bandit…”.
The good news is there is a cure, and the cure is “GET THE HELL OFF THE BED”
well, so they say, but if I knew how to deal with it I would have had made it on time to class at least once this week.

2..Procrastination.
Will write about this later

3..Over -Multi Tasking
I have presently on my to- do list 47 projects starting from studying and photographing the reptile fauna of my college campus to redoing my dads websites in CSS . (I have not started reading CSS tutorials yet) and I have 3 months to finish all this.

4..Reading Too Many Self Help Books.
I invariably end up reading all the possible time management and procrastination books that I can get my hands on, and what happens is after each book there is a 2 week period of trying the different tips and tricks and then the next book comes along…

5..No Stock Taking
To be efficient you need to take stock, regularly, and if you don’t, many times you will find yourself with a mile long to-do list with no clues as to what’s on it .

6..Prioritize? What’s That
It is not seldom that I find myself spending the whole night reading about an essay that I later learn is the least likely to be asked in the exam.since i rarely muster enough self dicipline to sit with the books the realizationthat it was spent on useless information is heart breaking and just puts me off from making another attempt any time soon.

7..Worry
Take it easy dude, life’s too good to be wasted worrying. Its more crippling than laziness and more harmful than procrastination so take it easy don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

well

I just know these are the things that are majorly messing up my life

I dont have cures for any, except “Git Off Yer Lazyassbutt You Pregnant Hypothyroid Snail”
