Procrastination is holding you back from Success

Everyone procrastinates. You need to use the bathroom now, but you hold it. You have a research report due on Friday that you begin Wednesday night. You need to wash your hair but you believe you can go just one more day. It's confusing having the world tell you to stop rushing, you have the rest of your life. On the other hand, you have people asking what are you waiting for, get a move on. It's a struggle but it doesn't have to be.

Plan your day 24 hours ahead. Set short term goals and tasks that can be accomplished effortlessly. The long term goals you already know will be lengthy but you can think in terms of meeting milestones so you know you are getting closer to your outcome. Then ask yourself, are you any closer to what you define as Successful?

Aaah. So you're procrastinating on the procrastination. Well, set a goal to think about the important things you should stop procrastinating about. That's a beginning.
