Anti-Procrastination Month: Day 23
October 23rd, 2007 by Cristina Favreau
If success has been eluding you, procrastination may be the root cause.
In today’s Anti-Procrastination Month post, I’m going to come out and say it straight: STOP LYING TO YOURSELF!!!
When you procrastinate, you are lying to yourself and wasting precious resources. You sabotage yourself. You are choosing a path that hurts your performance.
The plain truth is you WON’T feel like doing what you’re avoiding tomorrow, you DON’T work best under pressure, a sense of urgency DOES NOT make you more creative (it only feels that way), and that project you keep putting off IS important.
Successful people don’t procrastinate (which is why my #1 priority is defeating this trait).
Learning to overcome procrastination will transform your life. You’ll spend your time and energy judiciously, achieving whatever it takes to carry your business to the next level. You’ll wake up each morning (as I have these past few days) excited at the tasks ahead (even the unpleasant ones), knowing your business will thrive and flourish.
Take on the day!
