Procrastination: A Deadly Practice
-
Yes, I am familiar with the age-old advice that "haste
makes waste."
- In
fact, if we all stopped to think things through a bit
more we all might
-
have sore backs as a result of sitting on an
over-stuffed wallet.
-
But "thinking things through by aiming to long" often
results in a less than satisfactory result.
- It
is only by "pulling the trigger" that we find out
whether we hit the target or not,
-
and in what direction we need to make corrective action.
-
This thought hit me the other morning in the Ziggy comic
strip.
-
(Now you know. Much of my brilliance comes from the
comics.)
- It
shows the word "procrastination" on the
Zigster's To-Do List.
-
You might ask what happened to the lazy, hazy days of
summer?
-
Somewhere along the way they have been replaced by the
question, "Hey! You
still in business?"
- In
the majority of cases, you all know what to do and what
needs doing.
-
Today is Wednesday. What better day to:
-
(1) Make that call
-
(2) Write that letter
-
(3) Send that apology
-
(4) Speak with that prospect
-
(5) Share your present thoughts with your commander
(Chef de Gare)
-
(6) Send Tony your thoughts
-
(7) Have a fund day meeting and serving others
-
(8) Celebrate your victories
-
(9) Re-strategize your failures
-
(10) If your a 40 & 8er, be proud of your Voiture ,
Grande, and Natioinal organization
-
-
"Procrastination" is no longer a word in your
vocabulary. Do what needs doing. And do it now.
