Sometimes I envy people that have the luxury of procrastinating, because I believe there is a stage you get in life, you know that you don't have the option of wasting time anymore, because those that do probably don't have a pressing motivation or responsibility to get up and do the right thing at the right time, or probably because they already have someone taking the sacrifice for them, If not, that feeling of inadequacy would have made them rethink procrastination.
Taking time off every once in a while to either rest or binge-watch a favourite movie after completing some set goals, isn't a bad thing, as all work and no play or rest also gets boring and unhealthy, this isn't a waste of time as our body needs some time to rejuvenate which can only happen during breaks or rest, at this point, it isn't procrastination but being intentional about your wellbeing as it also makes you come back stronger and better. If you've ever experienced creative block, you will understand this better, whenever it happens to me, it is my cue to stop working and seek inspiration elsewhere.
What I consider as time wastage is involving oneself in unproductive habit or activity, such as gossip, why sit down to gossip about people or celebrities who are probably in a better place improving themselves while you remain the same, if you are not blogging about it and making money off gossip like Linda Ikeji, then you are indeed wasting your precious time.
In our world today, it is easy to get carried away with a lot of distractions as we are constantly being presented with social media reels, some games, etc, making it challenging to stay focused. However, by prioritizing our goals, taking intentional breaks, and avoiding unproductive habits, we can make the most of our time.
Procrastination is a disease that we should deviate from it I remember one of the richest man in African his name is Dangote I kept seeing his car moving every day because he don't want to be broke again in his life so as far as he wake up he check his schedule and in everyday of his schedule there is hustling inside because the hour he miss he will crash in his business so anyone that is procrastinating because he has it already will go down so I don't advice procrastinating even if you have the money in the whole world so time is money that is the usual statement time is money thank you for sharing
Rightly said, being rich doesn't stop you from pushing ahead

I think I learned from this because at times I get engaged to the extent of thinking my breaks would have been used in getting another thing done
Breaks are just as important as getting things done.
Very important... Thanks for sharing that insightful article
You really spoke my mind. Sometimes it feels like 24 hours isn’t enough, especially when your work takes so much energy and focus. I also agree that intentional rest is not a waste of time it actually helps us come back better.
The body needs rest to rejuvenate no doubt but many use that quote or saying to lazy around and procrastinate as well.
It's best to know that there is time from everything
Yes you are right, work hard, play hard. Keep the balance.
Indeed I agree with you...Great post
