Procrastination: What it is? & Why one does it?
Most of us procrastinate at one time or another. Statistics vary widely, but some of the numbers suggest 95% of us are occasional offenders, with habitual procrastination possibly affecting about 20% of the population.
|

 Dr. Santhosh Dadhambe, CMO, Vijaybhoomi University

To clarify the problem, we need to start with the definition of procrastination. Common descriptions include:
- Postponing or delaying action
- To put off doing something out of habitual laziness or neglect
- Deferring or rescheduling planned activities for something less important
Procrastinating behavior is characterized as delaying, needless, and detrimental. Purposeful, needed, or desired action is delayed despite expecting negative results due to the delay.
We can summarize procrastination as the decision to delay action with the clear expectation that the delay will negatively impact desired outcomes.
Typical causes of procrastination
By definition, procrastination is making defective or bad decisions about when to act. This excludes prioritization decisions that are made to address legitimate time constraints. Overcoming procrastination effectively requires that these causes be examined and addressed. Causes given for procrastination include:
Overcoming procrastination to address unpleasant tasks Tasks being unpleasant or boring
Feeling overwhelmed
Feeling stressed
Fear of failure or success
Fear of the unknown
Lack of personal relevance, meaning or interest
Lack of confidence or self-doubt
Poor time management habits
What does this tell us? Emotions clearly influencing decision making. Feelings of fear, doubt and uncertainty are evident in the listed causes. Lack, an expression of unmet need, is also heavily represented. Although emotions are negatively impacting the choice to act, they are providing information.
Preventing procrastination
Preventing procrastination is overcoming procrastination in advance. Making decisions is often a key area for procrastination and is a good place to focus prevention efforts. Continuing with our focus on decision making, here are some ideas that can aid in avoiding delayed action or choice.
Set aside time to reflect and work through your life decisions. The self-knowledge that comes from these choices can reduce fear, uncertainty, and doubt that can cause procrastination.
Take notice of emotions negatively impacting decisions. They can be signaling the need for a decision that could prevent later inaction.
Choose relationships that support accountability. We can all use help in getting things done.
Overcoming procrastination is choosing to make a better decision. Next time you are procrastinating, look for the missing decision.

Lohri Celebration @ VU
Saarang Arora, B.Tech AI, INSOFE
As the winter season sweeps India off its feet, the Punjabi festival of Lohri came as a dear refuge for many. Lohri, a prominent festival in Punjab and surrounding regions of north India is believed by many to mark the winter solstice. Lohri culturally marks the end of the peak winter season and welcomes the longer days that eventually lead to the spring season.
 As Vijaybhoomi university houses students from all cultures, the Students wanted to celebrate the passing of winter with the traditional Lohri bonfire. Students gathered around the bonfire and following tradition, threw offerings into the fire.
Following that, students started playing Lohri music and celebrated around the fire. Some students enjoyed the bonfire’s warmth while others danced to the tunes.

"ThematiX is a great initiative! Prateek's session on Kick-starting Careers in BFSI was engaging and profoundly shaped us with new lenses to watch Finance, Insurance, and the Banking Industry. Rather than emphasising bookish knowledge, he was fair enough with the students to take our questions and share his experiences and inputs which was fruitful. I loved it."

Joining Committees apart from studies in Vijaybhoomi University?
|
|
|
| |
Shritika Dubey, Vijaybhoomi School of Law
Studying in a University is the most essential part but besides studies there should be an extra responsibility for a student so that he/she can learn to be disciplined in life regarding punctuality, style of work and knowledge.
A student cannot continuously concentrate on studies so that Vijaybhoomi University makes each student mandatory to join at least one committee e.g., sports committee, hostel management, etc. Students here enjoy the work from the committees and help in handling the extra loaded work together.
These committees contribute an essential part in shaping a student’s future, teaching them how to handle a committee, managing people, and gaining knowledge out of the box.
