This was not the planned blog post; I have 2-3 others that are ready to post but this kind of just came to me so here you go.

i was part of a a 20 Group this week and got back into Florida the other night and had a meeting just this morning where I was motivated to discuss a certain topic.

The topic is procrastination. Are you guilty, maybe even occasionally?

Everyone is.

This will be a short blog but “can” be very significant if you take a few small actions.

1st – Make a short list of the things you need to accomplish the second you arrive to work. If it contains any more than 4-5 things rethink it and cull it down to the things that “really” matter.

2nd – Start with the thing on your list that you “dread” doing the most. Truth is often the thing we hate the most to actually do is the task that is the most important.

3rd – White paper your day before you call it a day. This can take 5 minutes but is the best way to evaluate the progress you made, the opportunities that exist for you to tackle the next day, and check the needed box that you did or did not get closer to your personal goal.

The frog if thrown into a boiling pot of water will jump right out. Same frog thrown into a room temperature pot of water that is gradually raised to boiling will remain in the pot and boil to death.

Procrastination is like the slow boiling death of the frog.

Get Out of the Pot!

1 Question:

What daily task do you absolutely hate doing and regularly put off or even skip? If you stopped putting it off and made it first on your daily list would it “pay you”?
