Procrastination and the problem of excusing yourself

Anonim
At some point in our life, we have not been able to fulfill the commitments we have made, but worst of all, we let these commitments remain pending to be fulfilled without an apparently valid reason.

We have an infinity of phrases and a series of excuses with which we explain so much non-compliance, we no longer know what else to invent to cover our irresponsibility, I do not know if it will be, the inability to assume responsibilities, the impossibility of carrying out an activity, the same ineptitude or just physical and mental laziness.

This procedure has raised a great controversy in the social sphere, scholars in the area of ​​psychology and specialists in human relations speak of an endemic evil that is attacking modern man: "THE EXCUSITIS".

This characteristic of behavior surrounds the Latin American social and business environment every day, the nature of the Latino individual is intimately linked with the expiation of guilt, with the evasion of responsibilities and with the formulation of an infinity of pretexts to justify errors, it is a bit what the English call "PROCRASTINATION", which means " leaving everything for later ", involving two very important general aspects, the first is based on the deferral of responsibilities as much as possible and the second, brainwashing.

In many cases, individuals believe that the failures they face permanently and the successes enjoyed by others have no other explanation than luck, the money they possess or another circumstance that helps them to be in this situation, but in reality They do not realize that the problem is within their being and the excuses such as fatigue, diseases, allegations, suffering, ailments, white lies and others that we all know are the causes of their reality.

In reality, people make an excuse when there is great fear and many anxieties. The person does not assume their responsibility, does not take responsibility for their defects, failures and mistakes, is not able to tell the truth, there is a lack of self-confidence and an immense fear of failure, all these attitudes are the product of a mixture of causes such as:

  • Since they were children, they are not taught to solve problems, they are not taught to assume responsibilities, they are indecisive, they are depressive, they have an elusive temperament, and the cultural question.

For companies, this phenomenon can become a very serious problem, since being carriers of such a contagious disease, the trustworthiness that third parties have in the organization can be lost. Failure to deliver orders, poor quality of products, omission in payments, changes in the rules of the game in negotiations and all those circumstances that affect the normal course of operations, are symptoms of this evil..

To avoid being infected by this disease, entities must maintain a healthy work environment, a continuous evaluation system of human capital, establish a link of belonging between the company and the worker, maintain communication between all organizational levels, without forgetting to the slightest of its members and all the tools that give the organization guarantees that allow it to maintain its position in the market.
