खरं आहे तुझं अश्वत्थामा, पण काही-काही लोकांकडे पाहिलं की, त्यांचं जीवन तू म्हणतोस त्याप्रमाणं दवबिंदूसारखं असेलसं वाटत नाही. ते कधीही सौख्याच्या हिंदोळ्यावर झुललेले नसतात! त्यांनी कधीच कोणते पराक्रम केलेले नसतात! जिवंतपणीच ते मृत झालेले खरं आहे तुझं अश्वत्थामा, पण काही-काही लोकांकडे पाहिलं की, त्यांचं जीवन तू म्हणतोस त्याप्रमाणं दवबिंदूसारखं असेलसं वाटत नाही. ते कधीही सौख्याच्या हिंदोळ्यावर झुललेले नसतात! त्यांनी कधीच कोणते पराक्रम केलेले नसतात! जिवंतपणीच ते मृत झालेले असतात! त्यांना तू तुझ्या या कल्पनेत कुठं बसविणार? जीवनाला दवबिंदूची उपमा देऊन तू तुझी सौंदर्यदृष्टी व्यक्त केलीस, पण जीवन इतकं सहजसदृश्य नाही, सोपं नाही.’’ ‘‘नाही कर्णा, तू म्हणतास ते लोकसुद्धा दवबिंदूसारखेच असतात! केवळ हे दवबिंदू तृणपात्याच्या उलट्या बाजूला चिकटलेले असतात! त्यांच्यापर्यंत सूर्याचे दिव्य किरण पोहोचतच नाहीत! त्यांना प्रकाश मिळालेला नसतो. अज्ञानाच्या महान अंधकारात गाडलेले असतात ते दवबिंदू! आणि जगात अज्ञानाइतका मृत्यूही क्रूर नसतो!’’ ‘‘मग त्या दवबिंदूंना प्रकाश केव्हा मिळायचा? केव्हा उजळायची अशा लोकांची जीवनं? कधी उभारायचे त्यांनी पराक्रमांचे उत्तुंग पर्वत?’’ ‘‘मृत्यूच्या दारात! जे अज्ञानात चाचपडतात त्यांना मृत्यूशिवाय दुसरा नैसर्गिक नि:पक्षपाती, सत्यप्रिय गुरूच नाही! मुक्तीचा अन्य कुठलाही मार्ग नाही.’’ ...more

Pranay’s Quotes

“Step 3: Adopt Anti-Procrastination Strategies Procrastination is a habit – a deeply ingrained pattern of behavior. That means that you won’t just break it overnight. Habits only stop being habits when you have persistently stopped practicing them, so use as many approaches as possible to maximize your chances of beating them. Some tips will work better for some people than for others, and for some tasks than others. And, sometimes, you may simply need to try a fresh approach to beat the “procrastination peril”! These general tips will help motivate you to get moving: Make up your own rewards. For example, promise yourself a piece of tasty flapjack at lunchtime if you've completed a certain task. And make sure you notice how good it feels to finish things! Ask someone else to check up on you. Peer pressure works! This is the principle behind slimming and other self-help groups, and it is widely recognized as a highly effective approach. Identify the unpleasant consequences of NOT doing the task. Work out the cost of your time to your employer. As your employers are paying you to do the things that they think are important, you're not delivering value for money if you're not doing those things. Shame yourself into getting going! Aim to “eat an elephant beetle” first thing, every day! If you're procrastinating because you're disorganized, here's how to get organized! Keep to do list so that you can’t “conveniently” forget about unpleasant or overwhelming tasks. Prioritize your To-Do List so that you cannot try to kid yourself that it would be acceptable to put off doing something on the grounds that it is unimportant, or that you have many urgent things which ought to be done first when, in reality, you're procrastinating. Become a master scheduling project planning, so that you know when to start those all-important projects. Set yourself time-bound goals : that way, you’ll have no time for procrastination! Focus on one task at a time”

“Step 1: Recognize That You're Procrastinating If you're honest with yourself, you probably know when you're procrastinating. Here are some useful indicators that will help you know when you’re procrastinating Filling your day with low priority tasks from your To Do List. Reading e-mails several times without starting work on them or deciding what you’re going to do with them. Sitting down to start a high-priority task, and almost immediately going off to make a cup of coffee. Leaving an item on your To Do list for a long time, even though you know it's important. Regularly saying "Yes" to unimportant tasks that others ask you to do, and filling your time with these instead of getting on with the important tasks already on your list. Waiting for the “right mood” or the “right time” to tackle the important task at hand.”

“WHAT IS PROCRASTINATION? In a nutshell, someone said it right when he said that you procrastinate when you put off things that you should be focusing on right now, usually in favor of doing something that is more enjoyable or that you’re more comfortable doing. According to psychologist Professor Clarry Lay, a prominent writer on the subject, procrastination occurs when there’s “a temporal gap between intended behavior and enacted behavior.” That is, when there’s a significant time period between when people intend to do a job, and when they actually do it.”

“Step 2: Work Out WHY You're Procrastinating This can depend on both you and the task. But it's important to understand which of the two is relevant in a given situation, so that you can select the best approach for overcoming your reluctance to get going. One reason is that people find a particular job unpleasant, and try to avoid it because of that. Most jobs have unpleasant or boring aspects to them, and often the best way of dealing with these is to get them over and done with quickly, so that you can focus on the more enjoyable aspects of the job. Another cause is that people are disorganized. Organized people manage to fend off the temptation, because they will have things like prioritized to-do lists and schedules which emphasize how important the piece work is, and identify precisely when it’s due. They’ll also have planned how long a task will take to do, and will have worked back from that point to identify when they need to get started in order to avoid it being late. Organized people are also better placed to avoid procrastination, because they know how to break the work down into manageable “next steps”. Even if you’re organized, you can feel overwhelmed by the task. You may doubt that you have the skills or resources you think you need, so you seek comfort in doing tasks you know you're capable of completing. Unfortunately, the big task isn't going to go away – truly important tasks rarely do. You may also fear success as much as failure. For example, you may think that success will lead to you being swamped with more requests to do this type of task, or that you’ll be pushed to take on things that you feel are beyond you. Surprisingly, perfectionists are often procrastinators, as they can tend to think "I don't have the right skills or resources to do this perfectly now, so I won't do it at all." One final major cause is having underdeveloped decision-making skills. If you simply can’t decide what to do, you’re likely to put off taking action in case you do the wrong thing.”
