Procrastination
If you get started ---
think about the rewards. If
you don't get started --- think about the
consequences. Looking at the big
picture of what needs to be done can be
overwhelming. Time lost --- is time lost.
So get the ball rolling by breaking your tasks into
small steps.
Once you start the momentum of action you'll begin
to feel some sense of relief and accomplishment.
Success first starts in your mind and then your
behind must get up and take action. Action speaks
louder than fear. You can ACT your way into
feeling like doing something before you can FEEL your
way into action.
Scientist Newton gave the world the first law of
motion which is Newton's first law of motion, An
object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in
motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed
and in the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.
If you wait until you feel like doing the paperwork,
making the call, exercising, etc., you may never get
started. Don't wait until you think you have all the
answers and courage to get started. Those things
will come as you begin to take those steps. Once
you make UP your mind, get UP and moving.
My personal lessons of procrastination in the past
have resulted
in my loss of sleep, money, time and important
papers.
