Good evening, my name is noor afrina binti mohd

fazrul, my matric number is 2021458818. Im from

AS590-9. I'm delighted to have this opportunity to
give an interesting informative speech about the
science behind procrastination. First, let me tell
you about the introduction of this topic.
According to research, procrastination affects 15-
20% of individuals regularly, and around 25% of
persons perceive procrastination to be a defining
personality feature for them. As seen by surveys,
approximately 80-95% of college students
procrastinate to some extent, about 70% perceive
themselves to be procrastinators, and around
50% procrastinate constantly and severely.
Furthermore, as digital devices and the internet
now play a much larger role in most people's lives
and because general procrastination rates appear
to be increasing, it's likely that people now spend
much more time per day procrastinating on the
internet than they did previously. The reason to
listen this topic is Procrastination isn’t about
laziness, it’s about self-harm. People engage in
this illogical pattern of chronic procrastination
because they are unable to handle bad
sentiments associated with a task. Procrastination
is an emotion control problem, not a time
management one," this is stated by Dr timothy, a
professor of psychology and part of Carleton
University's Procrastination Research Group in
Ottawa. I used to believe that procrastination was
associated with laziness, but the reality is far
more complex. That encouraged me to study and
conduct internet research regarding on this issue.
Procrastination "hides" in practically every part of
our daily lives, making it extremely difficult to
conquer. I don't think I'd be able to identify and
deal with this problem until anything occurred to
me. Let's move on to the main point. Let me begin
by defining the several types of procrastinators.
The first type is the worrier. The Worrier does not
attempt an essential or difficult work because
they do not feel they will be able to complete it.
They are concerned that they will fail. They are
anxious about the prospect of failing. Thus, it is
preferable not to begin the activity - since you will
not experience the unpleasant feelings connected
with failure if you do not do it in the first place.
The problem with this thinking is that if you don't
start, you're bound to fail. The second one is the
perfectionist. The perfectionist does not start the
work because he or she is afraid of failing. Failure,
on the other hand, is not executing the work
flawlessly for the perfectionist. A classic
perfectionism mindset may be, "If I don't
complete the assignment really well, I'm a
failure." People who wait to start a business until
everything is flawless and organised are an
excellent illustration of this. The third one is the
over-doer. The third type of procrastinator
motivated by anxiety is the over-doer. The over-
doer commits to doing to many tasks. Then they
fail to prioritise the important tasks and thereby
fail to get them done on time. The classic ‘over-
doer’ belief around procrastination is “If I don’t
accomplish all of this, then I’m not good
enough”. The fear of not living up to their own
impossible standards, or the imagined impossible
standards of others causes them to take on too
much and not get the critical tasks done. The next
point is the effects of procrastination. You will
waste precious time. This is a bad emotion since
you can't turn back the hands of time; you're
stuck with the hopeless feeling of regret. Nothing
is more frustrating than feeling dissatisfied with
yourself because you know the situation might
have been so different if you had only made that
initial move. Besides that, you'll be losing
opportunities. How many opportunities have you
wasted because you did not seize them when they
were presented to you? This is the point at which
the consequences of procrastination make you
want to kick yourself. What you don't know is that
the chance may have changed your life, but you
passed it up. Most opportunities come just once;
there is no assurance of a second opportunity.
Opportunities are the universe's way of giving you
more, so do yourself a favour and seize them with
both hands as soon as they appear. Aside from
that, you're destroying a career. Because the way
you work directly influences your performance,
how much you achieve, and how well you
perform, procrastinating may be damaging to
your job. Procrastination might keep you from
meeting deadlines or fulfilling your monthly goals.
What effect will this have on your career in the
long run? You may lose out on promotions or
even risk losing your job. You can attempt to
disguise it for a time, but don't be surprised if
long-term procrastination at work destroys your
career. The final point is ways to get rid of
procrastination. Before you can attempt to tackle
your procrastination, you must first understand
why you are doing so. For example, are you
avoiding a specific work because it is boring or
uncomfortable to you? If this is the case, take
efforts to get it out of the way as soon as possible
so that you may focus on the areas of your job
that you love more. Other than that, time
management skills and tools are essential for
overcoming procrastination, but they are
insufficient on their own. Furthermore, not all-
time management techniques are equally
effective in dealing with procrastination. Some
time management approaches are ideally suited
to overcoming procrastination, while others might
worsen it. Those that lessen tension and worry
while emphasising the satisfaction and rewards of
accomplishing tasks are the most effective.
Making a long list of "things to do" or arranging
every minute of your day, for example, may
increase your stress and hence procrastination.
Instead, set acceptable goals, break big projects
down, and allow yourself flexibility and time to do
things you like as a reward for accomplished
work. Another important aspect of overcoming
procrastination is to be actively involved in your
lessons. If you are inactive in class, it is likely that
you are not "getting into" the course and its
contents, which reduces your motivation.
Furthermore, if you are inactive, you are most
likely not getting as much out of the course and
course materials as you could. Nonsense and
confusion are not entertaining; they are, in fact,
tedious and stressful. Prevent this by attempting
to fully understand course material rather than
simply remember or "get through it." Rather, look
for what is exciting and relevant to you in the
course content. as well as establishing your own
goals for each reading and class session. To
conclude, it should be noted that procrastination
is not entirely a bad thing; in fact, for many
people, it is rather useful. It enables individuals to
have more free time, more preparation time,
more contemplation time, less stress, and to build
efficiency abilities. Individuals must bear in mind
that procrastination is only effective for certain
people, and if the short-term lifestyle it promotes
something you are not used to, it may have bad
consequences. Thank you for taking the time to
be here.
