When I was younger, I had a neighbor who had children. Each child had a task to perform everyday after returning from school. It was such that when something hasn't been done, there's someone to hold responsible. This helped to keep every one up and doing in their respective tasks.
When every member of a family or organization is responsible for something in particular, it brings about a smooth running of the group. However, when no one is held accountable for anything, no one can be questioned or held responsible for something going wrong. In addition to the responsibility of individuals within a group, there's also personal responsibility as explained in the eminent part of responsibility.
When you live with a habit for so long, it becomes a norm to you that you don't realize it's a bad habit. Irresponsibility is one of those habits that need to be worked on for you to live a happy life. There are signs that reveal an irresponsible person. No matter how you try to cover it up, it's part of your life and trust me you can't pretend for so long. Some of the signs of an irresponsible person include;
1) They make irrational decisions: an irresponsible person is always influenced by what their friends or someone says about something. They are unable to make a decision of their own. They only decide to do something because someone said they should do it. They don't bother considering what they're asked to do, they don't try to find out what the best option is in a case, they just agree with whatever is said without adequate and thorough consideration. For instance you see someone who wants to be a Lawyer not because of passion about it or knowledge of what's involved. They don't conceive what to do on their own but wait till they're instructed on what to do.
2) Always pointing finger: an irresponsible person is always blaming somebody else but himself for a business deal lost or a mistake in his report or his inability to achieve his goal. They never take responsibility for their mistakes or delay or inactivity. They always push their task to others so they can say you're the reason why it wasn't done well if there happen to be any error.
3) They always make excuses: we all make excuses why we did not complete a task or fulfill a commitment. This is a habit we have to curb since it keeps us away from exercising our capabilities. Excuses will always be with you but opportunities won't. Quit blaming your circumstance on what you're able to change", Sonya Teclai.
4) Complainant: complaining does not make anything better. If something is not going well, change it. If you cannot change it, change your attitude towards it. It is irresponsible to keep complaining about something when you don't want to change it. "You create opportunities by performing, not by complaining", Murriel Siebert.
5) Procrastination: an irresponsible person is always procrastinating and rescheduling what they are supposed to do now and have all they need to get it done. Procrastination is a voluntary delay of something important irrespective of the negative consequences. We all procrastinate at one time or another, but when you don't consider the reason why you procrastinate, it becomes irresponsibility.

Being conscious of this signs help you reorganize and take responsibility for your life and activities and become happier and fulfilled in life.
