Death of procrastination
June 2, 2009 at 18:40 Procrastinators are always going to do something.
I'm going to:
* Lose weight
* Give up smoking
* Save money
* Spend more time with the wife and kids
* Write my bestseller
* Make all my sales calls today
* Catch up with my correspondence
* Go for a walk every day
* Read one business book a month
* Create my own business
* Learn a new language, how to dance, throw the biggest dinner party, speak in public..............
Or whatever else is on your - "one day I'm gonna do" list
I sometimes think procrastinators would put off death because they simply can't be bothered to move on to the next realm. Which is probably why that particular task has been given to someone else (in most cases) to decide when we go. But what if today is the day "they" decide it's your day to go? Do you want to get to the edge of life and scream - but I was gonna do so many things, I can't go yet.
Well, if you don't move your goals and dreams forward today - when are you? Or do you really believe you're going to live forever?
I have two lists - one is my must do before I die list....and the other - have achieved all this list
And both of them are impressive. I'm not going to ask you to create either list, because that's up to you to decide if they're helpful or not. But I know that when I need inspiration to get started on the next major item I re-read everything I've done so far and know that I can and will achieve my next goal.
How about you?
