Read This if You’re a Master Procrastinator
Improvement begins with a single step
Every time you hit snooze on your alarm, ignore your calendar reminder, skip the gym, don’t go to the supermarket while your fridge is empty, and so forth — you become one of the many procrastinators who can’t get things done.
That’s because you’re making a decision to NOT do what you should be doing.
William James said it best:
”When you have to make a choice and don’t make it, that in itself is a choice.”
We all know that we should pay the bills, follow our dreams, and improve ourselves. Yet, we delay those things like chronic procrastinators.
If you’re one of us, I have two powerful words for you. If you keep these two words in the back of your mind as you go through life, I promise you will be more productive.
1. Regret
Regret is like a bitter pill that leaves a sour aftertaste. It reminds you of the opportunities you missed, the time you wasted, and the bad feeling of what could have been.
Mark Twain captured this sentiment perfectly when he said:
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”
