Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.

- Denis Waitley

What to do with this famous saying:

Procrastination is the thief of time.

- Edward Young

What to do with this famous saying…

Realize first that procrastination is the enemy or all things great like:

• Productivity
• Effectiveness
• Getting things done
• Achieving your goals

So…don’t procrastinate! Procrastination is like a thief, it steals away your time and once that happens you can’t get that time back. Procrastination is the ultimate time thief if there ever were one.

Why do people procrastinate:

• Laziness
• Lack of motivation
• Forgetting the benefits of baby steps and incremental progress over time

Know that the benefit of not procrastinating is most likely success but the consequence of procrastinating is most likely failure. That should motivate you!

Get motivated and do it now, don’t wait!

Putting off an easy thing makes it hard, and putting off a hard one makes it impossible.

- George H. Lorimer

What to do with this famous saying:

Don’t procrastinate! The more you put it off, the harder it will become…chores, to-do list items, working out, dieting…forget tomorrow…it MUST be done TODAY!

He who hesitates is last.

- Mae West

What to do with this famous saying:

We must not hesitate or second guess ourselves. In ancient times, for a Japanese swordsman, hesitation could cost the swordsman his life. In life, hesitation can cripple our effectiveness. We can’t afford to hesitate. So go for it, now!

Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.

It was Napoleon Hill

What to do with this famous saying:

Don’t wait! All this stuff you talk about all the time but never take action on…well…I’m sick of hearing about it.

Just do it already! The time WILL NEVER be just right. If you’re waiting for the good time, right time or perfect time, you’ll wait forever and get nowhere fast.

There’s no open window, open door, or red carpet. You have to roll the red carpet out yourself and walk on it. Open the window. Knock on the door. Stop waiting for the perfect time and making excuses. Make it happen! Do it now or never!
