If you have a task worth doing,
Do it now!
In delay there’s danger brewing,
Do it now!
Don’t you be a “by-and-byer”
And a sluggish patience-trier;
If there’s aught you would acquire,
Do it now!
If you’d earn a prize worth owning,
Do it now!
Drop all waiting and postponing,
Do it now!
Say, “I will!” and then stick to it,
Choose your purpose and pursue it,
There’s but one right way to do it,
Do it now!
All we have is just this minute,
Do it now!
Find your duty and begin it,
Do it now!
Surely you’re not always going
To be “a going-to-be”; and knowing
You must some time make a showing
Do it now!
Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of every UPSC aspirant. We tend to postpone essay writing to weekends, we push our daily answer writing practice to the coming months, we don’t feel like giving Mock Prelims Test, we thought of completing making notes of subjects in 2nd or 3rd readings of books and so on and so forth.
It is very easy to Procrastinate. Because it comforts us. We will be in a less painful situation. But at the back of our mind, we will be feeling inferior in our eyes. We will be consistently missing our targets. And also, issues will start piling up. Hence, it creates a lot of stress in our mind.
If any Aspirant is trying to build a stable plan of UPSC Preparation, if any serious Aspirant is thinking to make a stable progress, then one should focus on completing targets on a day to day basis. Make a To-Do List and start ticking off one by one. Your goal should be to sleep on that day with a guilt free mind. Over the period of time, you will end the journey as a Successful human being.
