Recognize the Reason Behind the Delay

"Delay" is not Necessarily Wrong?

        Postponing tasks can be challenging, especially when it comes to studying, school assignments, projects, or time-sensitive matters. However, procrastination does not necessarily indicate a bad habit or lack of discipline. In my opinion, there are several positive impacts of delaying in certain situations, which is why procrastination can sometimes be a better choice than rushing.

    For instance, when we receive a task from a teacher and are given additional time to complete it, it tends to challenge us and eventually helps us overcome laziness and lack of motivation. The additional time provided allows us to rethink and enhance our creativity in approaching the task. Procrastination can assist individuals in improving the quality of their output, enabling them to find better ways to tackle the task at hand.

    Similarly, let's take a look at the renowned painting of the Mona Lisa, which took Leonardo da Vinci nearly 16 years to complete. It is a known fact that he procrastinated in finishing the painting to reflect and consider various aspects and compositions. Ultimately, it gave him the opportunity to independently solve the problems he faced. When we feel stressed or unmotivated to work on something, procrastination can serve as a way to reflect and introspect. Allowing oneself to delay tasks or decisions provides more time to contemplate and evaluate their priorities and needs more effectively, leading to better decision-making aligned with their requirements and expectations.

    In conclusion, procrastination can have positive impacts in certain situations. However, it is important to remember that excessive procrastination can have negative effects on productivity, mental health, and overall performance. Therefore, it is crucial to strike a balance between allowing time for reflection and preparation, and completing tasks or making timely decisions.

Gedung Menjulang dan Atap yang Bertahan

Tanjakan 13, Kuningan City Mall Langit Jakarta di sore hari seakan siap menangisi bumi. Puluhan awan kelabu telah menggantung rendah mendekati daratan seolah menyimpan banyak sekali cerita yang belum sempat diucap. Tatapan mata saya yang terbentang luas melihat pemandangan yang sangat khas di kota ramai ini. Ya, puluhan atap yang saling merekat satu sama lain seakan – akan mereka saling menguatkan untuk bertahan. Di balik itu, berdiri sebuah gedung – gedung megah yang sedang berlomba – lomba sejauh mana mereka dapat menyentuh langit. Saya berhenti sejenak, mengamati begitu kontrasnya sebuah foto lanskap di tangan ini. Seperti melihat terdapat dua dunia yang sangat berbeda di dalam satu foto tersebut. Satu bergerak begitu cepat hanya menggunakan sebuah kabin tertutup yang bergerak naik turun di dalam sebuah poros khusus. Sedangkan di sisi lain, begitu banyak lorong – lorong yang bertahan setiap hari dengan sempitnya poros itu. Foto ini bukanlah sebuah makna dari gedung kaca dan rumah pa...

Why We Shouldn't Stay Up Late?

     Sleep is a crucial necessity for our health and well-being. However, in this modern era, especially among the Generation Z, we often neglect our sleep in favour of unfinished activities. Many of us, especially students, tend to work late into the night, forgetting to rest. This often leads to feelings of exhaustion, eye strain, and even decreased performance.

How do you feel when living in a dormitory?

      Just imagine! When a teenager, full of freedom of expression, is required to pursue education and live in a dormitory. It is certainly difficult for teenagers who are used to living at home with their parents to accept this. The adolescent's ability to adapt to a new environment is very sensitive, often leading them to express their emotions through rebellion and experiencing stress. Therefore, this issue cannot be easily ignored by parents.      The mental condition of adolescents while living in boarding schools is crucial to consider. Teenagers living in dormitories often experience high academic pressure, a different environment from home, and being away from their families. These circumstances can result in feelings of loneliness, stress, and depression, which can have a negative impact on their mental health.      When living in boarding schools, teens face significant academic demands and must learn to cope with the pressures.
