“Procrastination is the thief of time”
— Charles Dickens
Simplified Meaning:
When you delay or put off doing something, you lose valuable time that you can't get back. Imagine you have a big assignment due for school, and you keep telling yourself you'll start it later. As days go by without any progress, the deadline gets closer, and you become stressed and rushed to finish it. If you had started earlier, you would have had enough time to do a good job and feel more relaxed. Procrastination, or waiting too long to do things, steals away your free time and peace of mind. It’s like having money in a bank account that you never spend—just wasting away. To avoid this, try tackling tasks as soon as you can. Breaking work into smaller steps makes it easier to start, and you’ll feel more accomplished and less pressured. This helps you manage your time better and enjoy more of your day without worries hanging over you.
