Dont Postpone

I stare at the screen. 

A blank document. A blinking cursor. An empty mind.

"I'll do it tomorrow," I say to myself. "When I'm feeling a bit more creative."

Maybe you know that feeling?

Tomorrow comes, and my inbox has entered the stratosphere. So, I gradually clear it out, and finish my TODO list with an hour to spare.

I could at least start writing that document now... 

Or I could just leave it again. Which actually makes sense, because I don't have that much scheduled in my calendar tomorrow.

Except...

Tomorrow comes, and something else comes up. My time seems endlessly filled with distractions. Some genuine. Others fuelled by a subconscious laziness.

Before I realize it, a 3-hour task on my TODO list takes a whole month to complete. 

And I don't even consider myself a procrastinator!

Has this ever happened to you?

Here's the thing... and I so often need reminding of it myself, which is why I'm typing these words right now...

? Procrastination is the enemy of success.

Waiting for perfection. Waiting for everything to line up. Waiting for a free chunk of time. These are signs of failure.

But just deciding to start... NOW... 

That's the real sign of success. 

You may delay, but time will not.
