Hello everyone it is my pleasure to share my thoughts about the Leo initiative so the topic of procrastination is a widespread issue that almost everyone has faced at one point in their life. It simply means the act of putting away what one should do today for tomorrow whereas there is an opportunity to do it today. These may lead to many consequences like an individual going into stress and anxiety missing out on opportunities that would have granted him promotion of progress in his workplace. It can also lead to low quality of work performance because of limited time one has to finish up a lot of work that has been piled up for a long time.
When I first saw this topic I was just smiling because it is something I can relate with if I have known the consequences of procrastination at early stage of my live while I was still in secondary school I would have bought it with all my might and I believe I would have overcome,
