I was angry, frustrated and less confident than my usual self.<\/p>\n<p>It suddenly dawned on me. I have Procrastinitis!<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Word to be pitched to the Council of Dictionary Elders \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Procrastinitis<\/strong>: The condition where you keep pushing tasks till tomorrow and that particular tomorrow never comes.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I am not alone in this contagious disease. Most of us have it\u2026in fact, even you reading this may be in denial. Yes, you, my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Procrastination should be man\u2019s favourite word right after \u2018Ice cream\u2019 or &#8216;Money&#8217; or &#8216;Holiday&#8217;. For some reason, some dude or\u00a0<em>dudette\u00a0<\/em>somewhere invented the word \u2018tomorrow\u2019 and give it a different meaning than what it really is \u2013 that land so near yet so far away that never seems to come for some people.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re like me, you probably wish you had started hitting the gym a year ago, saving one-one naira a month ago, said yes to the love of your life before he decided marriage is not his thing\u2026you get the point\u2026<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no perfect time to begin. No, scratch that. The only perfect time is NOW. N.O.W \u2013 now! (Am I screaming loud enough?)<\/p>\n<p>And if you keep waiting, this is what you will become: A person suffering from Procastinitis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Remember, we have only one life to live. Just one like this. No duplicate. No second chance. We will never get a chance to be 20 years old again, to be 25, or 40. One day, we will wake up and we\u2019re 90, tired and maybe one step away from heaven. Starting early gives you all the space and time to make your mistakes, learn from them and move on quickly. No time, my brother, my sister.<\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this, grab a jotter and a pen. Write down all those things you\u2019ve pushed off till the land of tomorrow. Then start working on them!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you will never look back and regret the choices you could have made and I hope you never have to say:\u00a0<em><b>I could have, but tomorrow spoilt\u00a0my show.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have any of these symptoms?
