"Procrastination is caused by our perception that doing a certain task
will cause us pain. We tend to avoid events that are unpleasant, complex,
lengthy, or uninteresting, regardless of their priority."
Do you have the tendency to procrastinate? If
you do, you are a person who has mastered the art of keeping up with
yesterday.
Take a good, hard, honest, daily look at yourself to determine if you
have slipped into the habit of putting things off until tomorrow.
Write it on your heart: Success is the product of today,
today's responsibilities fulfilled, today's opportunities seized, today's jobs
attended to, today's sales finalized.
Tomorrow never really comes. Every morning when the sun rises, it's
today! That's when sales are made. That's when the all-important signatures are
written on the dotted line.
There's a wise old saying we should listen to: One of these
days is none of these days. Some salespeople get ready and then do
something. Many just keep getting ready!
Do you ever promise yourself that tomorrow will be better? It can be,
simply by making today the best day possible. To make tomorrow a great day,
start today!
Promise yourself your work will be done today, the unpleasant task
will be cleared up today.
Today you owe it to yourself, your family and
your organization to break loose from the bonds of procrastination and leap into
the exciting world of today's accomplishments, present achievements, and
immediate rewards.
