How to overcome procrastination: this will help you!!!

And so I came across this write up by Gennaro Cuofano, and I thought it wise to share

I do not understand why procrastination is perceived as a very bad thing. I honestly don’t know about you but thank god I am a procrastinator. If it weren’t so right now I would be a fat smoker and a lonely man.

If I am not fat is because most of the time I procrastinate in eating food that is unhealthy for me.

If I am not a smoker is because I procrastinate in taking another bad habit, which would make me go out during the night to buy a package of cigarettes.

If I am not lonely is because each time I am pissed at someone I procrastinate in f***ing them off.

I actually wish I was a better procrastinator. If it were the case I would be a much better person than I am. But I am not and I am working on it to become the world’s top procrastinator!

Procrastination is a blessing. We have evolved in an environment with limited resources and our body and mind too is the result of an energy saving strategy that made us survive.

Strangely we humans though evolved such big brains that consume up to 25% of our energy level. Therefore, procrastination is a human need.

If you were to take up any conversation, any fight, any food, any b***t you would not have energy for anything else. Then ok, once you pick up something it is worth putting 100% of your focus on that particular thing. Therefore, it is a matter of focus and it has nothing to do with procrastination

How OPEC Agreed A 1.2Mbpd Production Cut

After months of wheeling and dealing, the member nations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) have finally agreed an average drop in production level of 1.2 million barrels per day, effective January. The agreement exempted Nigeria and Libya, but gave Iraq its first quotas since the 1990s, Bloomberg reports. Iran seems to be the greatest winner, as OPEC agreed for the country to raise output to about 3.8 million barrels a day as the country sought special treatment as it recovers from sanctions. However, Iraq OPEC’s second-largest producer, agreed to cut by 210,000 barrels a day from October levels despite its previous push for special consideration based on the urgency of its offensive against Islamic State. Saudi Arabia, which raised oil production to a record this year, will reduce output by 486,000 barrels a day to 10.058 million a day. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait will reduce output by 139,000 barrels a day and 131,000 a day while ...

In fact, the external reserves has dropped by about $480 million dollars in August alone compared to just $100 million in the whole of July. Ironically, the current balance of $25.9 billion is worth about 80% more than what it was in Naira following the depreciation of the naira after it was floated. The CBN has in the past few days ramped up sales of dollars at the interbank in the hope that it will create liquidity in a market that is yawning gape to swallow forex after nearly almost two years of intense rationing by the CBN. The Naira weakened to its lowest ever at the interbank after it closed at about N362.5/$1 in midday trading. The Naira will eventua...
