You may have read these lines from the famous adage of an anonymous writer which states,” Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today, you can do it again.” These are classic lines which clearly explains that there are individuals who put off doing something until they” have the time.”
In our organization, the Department of Education, we cannot deny the fact that if we do not accomplish an assigned task on time, understandably, different tasks will accumulate. Remember, no matter how talented you are, if you cram on doing a long-overdue task, then the result will be a half-baked product.
As a teacher, you are considered to be a responsible individual, you know yourself well—your talents, attitudes, capabilities, and potentials.

As Tapalla stresses, to do a task efficiently and effectively, develop initiative. Get rid of indifference. This breeds passivity, while initiative spawns not only creativity, but productivity as well.
