When Time Is Lost, It’s Lost Forever
We can't eat our cake and have it! That's just the simple way I use to analyze the use of our time. Time is a precious thing in human life. While everyone has equal hours in a day, we don't have equal production with the same time. Some people utilize their time wisely, while some waste it, and it can never be recovered.
Sometimes, our level of achievement depends on how best we use our time. It depends on what we take as priorities, but it makes sense that we focus on more relevant things with our time before diverting to side attractions. However, that's not usually the case; we are caught up being distracted with other things that should come last in our day. Those things can be time stealers, time wasters, or time consumers—just name it—drawing us back and sometimes pushing our goal for the day to the next day, and before you know it, what we originally planned to achieve today becomes a goal for next week.
Humans can only be humans; sometimes we dance to the tunes of our flesh and give in to laziness or procrastination knowingly or unknowingly. Whatever time is lost can never be recovered, and of course time waits for no one. In that spot of your procrastination, the clock is still ticking, seconds upon seconds, minutes upon minutes, hours are going, days, weeks, and months—they are all flying while you still entertain procrastination.The funny aspect of it is that people who understand time are consistently utilizing it and flying, growing, and developing themselves, acquiring new skills and waxing stronger; every minute of their life counts to them, and perhaps you may start comparing yourself with such people, whereas you keep saying, "I will, I will", without taking action, right?
I wouldn't say that I am a procrastinator, but sometimes, I have certain work delayed for a reason;sometimes I am very tired, sometimes I lack motivation to start it, but somehow I get the energy to pull through because I hate carrying over my daily task to the next day. There is an unusual relief I do feel each time I complete my day's task before deciding to scroll through reels on social media. I am always craving such relief, and that's my motivation to do the needful and avoid procrastination. Gone are the days when I don't set my priorities right but swim in the ocean of procrastination. Now, I have a ton of responsibilities that are "a must-do," and I try to follow them back-to-back, especially in the morning once my kids leave for school and I have a calmer home to attend to my tasks.
With discipline and intentionality, 24 hours is still enough for me to achieve many things per day and rest in between.
Finally, some things are simply a waste of our time; they aren't just worth our time in any way. You see gossiping, looking for who you will please and who will please you, name them, but you see hanging out for no reason? Hmm, I once did that and hated myself that day! I came home and really was hard on myself because if I had thought well, the movement was simply irrelevant. Time I was supposed to use and help my life, I burnt it out there for nothing.
Overall, setting our priorities right is the best way to utilize our time and fight procrastination.

We can't eat our cake and have it, that strucked me, so virtually whenever we procrastinate we waste time, because procrastination kills time, nice write - up
You got it!
Thanks for engaging 🤦
I also get the relief of getting things done at the right time, because if I don't, then it becomes a burden to me. No time to waste time.
So much burden oo
I love to try and experience that relief of a job well done
That's the thing. When we utilize our time on important things and not irrelevant things then there will be a kind of relief
It's not easy
That's correct dear
Thanks for engaging
You're welcome
24 hours is enough, it all just depends on how focused you are and how much distractions you give into while going about your activities.
Of course...anyone who is deliberate enough can still achieve wonders with the hours in a day
Sometimes, I feel 24 hours is enough for me and other times, I wish I could have more hours added to it; it all depends on our mood for that day. There are times we just want to be lazy, procrastinate activities but once it is getting too much, we will definitely see the consequences. I guess we all do understand how time works, but many of us choose what we want, and in the end, we dance to the tune of our actions.
Sure..it happens , but overall, if we manage our time well, we can still do a lot within 24 hours
It's okay to lazy around sometimes and procrastinate but it shouldn't be a routine
A life of procrastination is a life of delay success. Do the right thing at the right time
You can say that again
How well we utilize our time the better for us because the time waits for no body, so is best to do the right thing at the right time
No doubt sis
Just do the needful when necessary

Procastination can really seem like a good idea because of the feeling we get from it but it is the biggest time waster and stealer.
Being intentional about how we use our time can help is to be productive.
Ahhh...the laziness from procrastination can be sweet oo...but the aftermath sometimes can be bitter..lol, better time stealer oo
Yea..we can't go wrong with being deliberate with our doings
Yes o
Thank you
Laziness is not good and one should try the best to overcome laziness. It cost us a lot of time and lose of time means lost for forever and we need to face the consequences for it. It's better to make the best use of time.
!PIZZA
Yes...lose if time means lost if it forever
Sometimes the consequences is too heavy to bear

Come get MOONed!
Rightly put, equal time does not lead to equal productivity by individuals.
We have our different ways of meeting up with deadlines in-between the available time we have to manage our daily activities
Of course...we can't have equal achievement ...it depends on how each person utilizes his or her time
I agree, because we also lost opportunities because of time.
Of course
I normal complain that 24 hours is not enough for me while I am the one killing myself i always procrastinate things even at work i procrastinate and when is deadline i will stress myself just to meet up. I some much love people who value there time.
