Why should we stop Procrastinating ?

We know we should do it and it is in our to do list forever.

And we know our life will be so much better. And yet we still do not do it.

What is holding us back ?

Maybe it’s fear. Or waiting for the perfect time. Or the path is not clear and not knowing exactly where it will take you.

Whatever it is, you will forever be in “someday island”. Someday, you will do something.

When that someday will happen, if it happens, may be too late… or maybe too costly.

Every time you add time, you lose money. That is the opportunity cost of delaying an action that could mean a lot to your success and happiness. Like buying a piece of real estate property, learning a skill, starting your own business, forgiving a person, making that phone call, changing your bad habits…

How do we overcome procrastination ? Here’s some tips for you:

• Change your thinking. You may need help from somebody
• Plan each day in advance and organize your tasks.
• Ask yourself - what is the consequence of not doing it now 
• Say to yourself “I will do it now”
• Focus on things that will have the most immediate or big impact
• Do the easy ones first, so the next ones snowballs faster

Remember, procrastination gets in the way of your dreams and goals.

What is one critical task that you have been putting off ?
