Time to stop delaying game

IT’S NEVER ‘THE RIGHT TIME’ With perpetual postponement, before you know it the year will be over and you won’t have lifted a finger towards your plans.

late at the office, but when the time came to start, a million-and-one reasons came to mind as to why we shouldn’t and we justified postponement?

If you are going to succeed in anything this year you must find a cure to your procrastination. And I say “your procrastination” because everyone has different reasons why they procrastinate.

For some it’s fear of failure, doubt, or uncertainty; to others it’s a lack of confidence and to some its plain laziness. But the biggest reason usually is because it’s not the right time; we are obsessed about timing – as if the planets are aligning themselves for our cause. The truth is there is never the right time; you must jump in head first and see what happens.

There are a plethora of reasons why people procrastinate, but if you are to succeed you must identify what causes you to procrastinate, then deal with it in order for you move on to implementing your ideas.

Procrastination has many downfalls, chief among them being it stops you from pursuing your dreams. But what about time? We all know the saying “time waits for no man” and I don’t think there is anything that eats up time more than procrastination. The perpetual postponement causes time to pass by and before you know it the year will be over and you won’t have lifted a finger towards your plans.

There is nothing worse than regret and procrastination plants the seeds for regret. Therefore, stop procrastinating and start now before it’s too late and you regret never starting at all.
