Ah! I just about fell shot of my unwritten target of 4 posts a month, this month. The reason was a very simple one, a human tendency that most of us succumb to "Procrastination". Procrastination is a bane and is the root cause of many ills that dog today's society.
An old idiom states "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine", which implies that a work done at the correct time saves a lot of hassles which other wise would have to be encountered in damage control exercises.
"Pressure" both in personal as well as professional life, more often than not, is a result of our habit of procrastination, of delaying action and putting it off for the never ending "Tomorrow".
Citing examples from our daily life, we see many students at their wits end at the time of exams. Why?? Because they bring it upon themselves by not being regular in their studies. If one was to plan and study subjects on a regular basis each day, then the pressure on the student would be that much lesser at the time of exams.
Similarly, all members of Blue Caramel, especially our sales team members, need to understand that their sales goals are all predefined which they very well know. Now if they break down their targets at the very start of the month and work on it from the very beginning, then by the end of the month not only would they feel less pressure (as they would have most definitely moved forward during the interim time), they would also start enjoying their work more. But for that they need to eradicate the malice of Procrastination.....
