You procrastinate, I procrastinate, all God's children procrastinate.But do we ever really count the cost of procrastinating?Putting things offHere's a partial list of the damage wrought by putting things off:It makes small tasks seem large or insurmountable.It makes short tasks time consuming.It deludes us into what I call "someday thinking." Someday I'll (fill in the blank). In the words of John Fogerty, "someday never comes."It causes us to feel overwhelmed.It creates an almost constant state of panic.It's a major source of debilitating stress.It fools us into actually believing "I'll do it later."NO YOU WON'T!What to doAlbert Einstein said,"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."So I usually like to keep suggestions for change very simple and very usable. These next three ideas, however, are very psychologically complicated, so get ready:Do it now!Do the hard or unpleasant Muff first. This strategy has allowed me to get more done and have more free time than most people I know.
The next time you are tempted to put something off, just procrastinate about putting it off. Say "I'll do this now, and procrastinate later." Simply "put off' procrastinating.Now I realize that sounds so simple. I suppose I could complicate it for you, add a lot of psycho-babble, but why?Visit http://www.SecretsofGreatRelationships.com for tips and tools for creating and growing a great relationship.
