Today’s Quote:
“To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.” – Eva Young
If you are wondering about the common problems the human race deals with, simply look at the quotes that are out there. This is yet another quote about procrastination. You think humans have a problem with that? I know I do from time to time.
For me, procrastination typically occurs when I am faced with a task I just don’t want to do. Since I’m retired I’m finding more and more that I have the freedom to not do these things—hence no procrastination, well a lot less anyway 😊.
There are lots of articles on overcoming procrastination. If this is a problem you see in yourself, look at what is holding you back from completing something you need to do. Is it because you don’t have all the information you need? Is it because you want the stars to align? Is it because you just don’t want to do the task? If it is the latter, ask yourself “Is this really something I need to do right now?” If it isn’t, pull this from your to-do list and give yourself a break. Put it on a waiting list for later. Who knows? Maybe, later on, you’ll actually want to do this thing. For now, stop beating yourself up over a “nice to do” task and get on with the important ones.
Until next time…
