Hustle Against Procrastination? You can end it now.
Hey there,
I thought of sharing something with you.
Have you ever been in a situation where you were getting ready to do something important but you somehow convinced yourself to "do it later" instead?
The truth is that we all procrastinate to some degree or another.
But when procrastination becomes a regular habit... when it becomes your natural response to dealing with important things in your life... that's when procrastination becomes more than a minor inconvenience.
The worst part about habitual procrastination is that you know that you'll be worse off by procrastinating -- but you still do it anyway. Deep down you know that you could do better and achieve more if procrastination wasn't holding you back.
Well, it doesn't have to be this way!
The secret is to realize that procrastination happens in your mind. It's a result of the habitual way you think about your projects, tasks and activities. It's these "bad thinking habits" that really lead you to procrastinate.
And like any bad habit, procrastination is very difficult to just STOP. Instead, you need to replace it with new and more empowering thinking habits that lead you to take action instead of procrastinating.
There is an old Abraham Lincoln quote that goes like this…
“Good things MAY come to those who wait… but ONLY the left-overs from those who HUSTLE!”
There’s NEVER a perfect time to set sail towards your goals…
Look, being cautious isn’t a bad thing… however… the BIGGEST risk in life… is not taking a risk. Waiting for the perfect conditions is not the answer… Don’t delay making a decision… Good or bad, just make it. Be decisive and commit to it regardless of the outcome. Be proud and reward yourself for making that decision today and brave whatever comes from it!
And yes, you can guarantee there will be a valuable life lessons waiting for you on the other side, so go for it.
Grab that pest they call “procrastination” by the scruff of the neck and boot it to the curb. Make today your action day.
To your success.

Great post! Procrastination is something I am currently working on. I get caught up in doing housework and errands and put off my site work until "later". Time to buckle down and get back to work.
Hey Stacy, yes housework will always be there. You know something, a study has shown that we do more today in a singular day than a person has done for a week in 1900. Mhmm, how do you cope with everything this days. I personally prioritize every night and every morning to stay on top of my work tasks and home tasks alike. It helps me get the most important once done first.
I am starting to do that. I write checklists for each day :)
