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Somewhere along the way they have been replaced by the question, "Hey!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.
