The Attorney General of a country commonly referred to as a tax haven country had received a mutual legal assistance request from a foreign country. The prime minister of that country had allegedly accepted bribes from a well-known businessman in that country. The businessman had kept several accounts with sub-accounts in various currencies and had allegedly used these accounts to pay a bribe equivalent to $ 20 million.
The authorities subpoenaed the accounts and an investigation of the account activities followed. As is often the case in such investigations, the documentation was not provided electronically, but in mediocre quality copies. Optical Character Recognition software failed. After tedious data entry, the analysis of the various accounts showed extensive transactions of funds between the various accounts. Amounts were split, transferred in various portions, invested in securities, divested and co-mingled with other funds. A pattern became visible towards the later stage of the money transfers. The amounts became more and more similar, close to $ 20 million. Finally, one of the transactions was not transferred internally, but to an outside account, for which the foreign country investigative authorities had already established indirect ownership by the prime minister. The businessman had already passed away at that point and no criminal charges were laid. The estate had to pay back-taxes and penalties and the prime minister, who had fled the country and sought asylum in a third country was sentenced in absentia. The mandate ended there, and it was never established, whether the businessman had acted alone or together with other financiers.What are the things that cause procrastinate?

How can the procrastination process be stopped?
Procrastination can be summarized as the situation of constantly postponing the work to be done and leaving it to the last minute.
There are types who say they need pressure to work. In addition, there are those who do not start any work because of the concern that they will not be able to raise any of them on time because they take on too much work. Some types postpone it by saying that they cannot work at that moment, but when the time comes, they say that they cannot work at that moment. There are also those with shiny object syndrome. On the other hand, they start a new job continuously and then give up and start a new exciting job. They get bored quickly when things get monotonous.
Studies on this subject show that being a perfectionist is one of the primary reasons. Also, being afraid of making mistakes is another reason. Apart from these, situations such as fear of criticism, lack of self-confidence and lack of focusing can also cause procrastination.
Lazy people generally don't like to do anything. It can also be defined as inactivity.
But procrastination is a more active process. The person continues to do work, but instead of doing tasks and things that need to be done first, does things that the person enjoys and that are more enjoyable. Or the person may start cleaning all of a sudden due to loss of focus.
Finding and understanding the motivation for the work to be done is one of the most important steps. Questions such as what will be the benefits of doing this work and why it should be done should be answered.
If it seems like a big task, it can be broken up into smaller pieces to make it less scary. So as you do the little things, you'll be doing the big work. It will also increase your motivation.
It can also help to reward yourself by taking a break from time to time. Of course, this should not be preferred at first. Because the breaks may be longer and we will be back to the point where we started.
Do you have questions about Procrastination?Blog Sony Dumps PCs, Splits TV Op, Cuts 5,000 Jobs? What if Sony gets out of the box business entirely? What if it zeroes in on the development of advanced “sensing” technologies? And Sony becomes responsible for selling and licensing, and partnering with equipment vendors in different industries? Hirai spent much of the time during his keynote speech, talking about “future” sensing technologies. He meant everything from Sony’s current digital image sensing technology (remember, Sony is the world’s leader in CMOS image sensors) to its future advanced sensing technology “that has the ability to see the unseen.” Clearly, Hirai wasn’t just talking about the new generation of high-end digital cameras. He cited “a complete array of image sensors,” capable of capturing real-time photos, which allows users to “change background and foreground focus, color intensity, image enhancements, depth of fields, and others -- even after the picture was taken.” To see the unseen But his point about advanced sensing technology was to “capture unseen data,” including speed, location, wavelength and others, and combine them to expand human perception and insight, and ultimately “to see the unseen.” Hirai talked about the potential of using such technology in automotive (i.e. Advanced Driver Assistance System), agriculture (sensing weather, CO2 consistency), skincare, and more general medical monitoring devices. OK, maybe this was just marketing hype to make everyone feel better about Sony’s future. But if Sony is really looking for an exit plan, I’m convinced this is it. Despite the public perception of Sony as a consumer electronics appliance company, I think it’s time to ditch the CE label and forget about building boxes. Just because Sony has good ideas to help farmers with its advanced sensing technology, it doesn’t mean that Sony has to build the box to hold the technology. Sony won’t make money by creating a box for every industry application. As I pondered this makeover, I realized that this is a total switch of the business model that made Sony who it is today. It was hard enough for Sony -- financially, but also emotionally speaking -- to dump the PC business and spin off TV. Ditching both game consoles and smartphones will be devastating to the company’s workforce. As of September last year, Sony reportedly had about 145,000 employees. Even after the latest 5,000 job cuts (1,500 in Japan, 3,500 abroad), Sony is still saddled with too big a workforce. That makes it almost impossible to morph Sony into a more nimble, small-scale, technology-focused company. I know. I just killed my own exit plan for Sony. But here’s an alternative. We can flip the plan. If Sony’s advanced sensing technology is as good as Hirai claimed in his keynote speech, how about spinning off Sony’s imaging/sensing technology group? Make it essentially a hungry startup, freed from the burden of carrying more than 140,000 employees. By all means, Sony shouldn’t be hiding unprofitable business units in the name of synergy. But rather than in the perpetual motion of cutting the company to the bone, it’s high time for Sony to save one part of the company that might be able to do some good in the future.Authors: González-Rodríguez, M.
