SQLAuthority News – How to Avoid Procrastination – Professional Development #001 – Video

Professional development is a vital part of a developer’s career. It’s never too early or too late to learn and grow professionally. It aids in personal growth and career advancement. Over the years, I’ve received many requests to share the professional development methodologies I follow. I’m thrilled to announce the addition of a new series on professional development here on SQLAuthority.com.

This series will be led by Nupur Dave, with occasional participation from me. Nupur brings extensive experience in human psychology and holds a master’s degree in education. She will share her insights through videos and blog posts, covering various practices that contribute to professional growth.

The First Video: Procrastination

The inaugural video in this series addresses procrastination, a challenge we’ve all faced at some point in our lives. Procrastination is the act of delaying or postponing tasks, often out of habitual carelessness or laziness. In simple terms, it’s the “let’s do it tomorrow” attitude.

Three Major Reasons for Procrastination:

1. Laziness or Ignorance – Not prioritizing tasks or intentionally ignoring them.
2. Fear of Failure or Success – Doubts about the outcome leading to hesitation.
3. Perfectionism or Flawlessness – Waiting for the “perfect moment” or trying to achieve unrealistic standards.

In the video, Nupur discusses how to recognize when you’re procrastinating and shares practical strategies to overcome this behavior. In just 160 seconds, this video delivers an important lesson that’s beneficial for everyone.

Let us not procrastinate and watch the video right away:
