~ PROCRASTINATION ~
IS THE BAD HABIT OF PUTTING OFF UNTIL THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.
For an achiever, perhaps the most dangerous, most destructive habit of all is procrastination, for it robs you of your initiative. When you put things off once, it’s easier to put them off again, until the habit is so firmly ingrained that it cannot be easily broken.
Sadly, the effects of the habit of procrastination are also cumulative. Its cure is obvious-action. You'll be surprised how quickly you begin to feel better about yourself and your situation when you get going on something-anything. As British prime minister and author Benjamin Disraeli said, "Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."
THE HABITUAL PROCRASTINATOR
IS ALWAYS AN EXPERT CREATOR OF ALIBIS.
If you are so inclined, you can always find dozens of reasons why something can’t or shouldn't be done-and precious few why it should or could. It is far easier to rationalize that it’s too difficult, too expensive, or too time-consuming than to accept the idea that if we are willing to work hard enough, smart enough, and long enough we can accomplish anything. Instead of making a commitment, we make up an alibi. If you find that you frequently invent excuses for why you didn't do something or have a million reasons why something didn't work out as planned, its time for a reality check.
Stop explaining and start doing!
