Procrastination ...........

Procrastination
is Attitude's Natural Assassin...

"The journey of a thousand miles
begins with the first step." ~ A Chinese Proverb ~

True...but that pesky first step can be a killer,
can't it!

Will Rogers' quote,
"Even if you're on the right track,
you'll get run over if you just sit there."

So many times we have great intentions.

We're going to read a good book,

write out our five year life plan,

start a new business, lose weight.

But for some reason,

we can't quite get around to taking that first step.

We're all guilty of procrastinating.

But here's the thing.

Procrastinating when something is important,

when it's something you know you should do,

can drain your energy

and you won't even know it.


"Procrastination is attitude's natural assassin.

There's nothing so fatiguing

as an uncompleted task."


This quote by William James is worth its weight in gold.


There are times when difficulty setting aside

blocks of time to write.

I know I should be doing it.


In fact,

I even love doing it (once I get started),

but...here we go...back to that pesky first step.


We need a "nudge."

I visualize just how good I'm going to feel about myself when I finish.

I know I'll feel energized.

I also know I'll feel proud

that I did something I didn't want to do.

So make a point to find something that works for you

when you need a nudge to get started.
