~Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow~

Do you know someone who is always saying, "Tomorrow-Tomorrow-Tomorrow". Tomorrow comes and goes and another reason is given for not following through with the things that should have been done on the previous day.

Look at yourself in the mirror are you that person always saying," I will get to it later" and later never seems to come. We say, "I will do this I will do that", but we do not say, " what year we will get to it".

Individuals who procrastinate actively look for distractions, particularly ones that don't take a lot of commitment on their part.

There is more than one flavor of procrastination. People procrastinate for different reasons.

Three basic types of procrastinators are:

1} Arousal Types, or thrill-seekers, who wait to the last minute for the euphoric rush.

2} Avoiders, who may be avoiding fear of failure or even fear of success.

3} Decisional Procrastinators, who cannot make a decision. Not making a decision absolves procrastinators of responsibility for the outcome of events.

I am here to tell you that procrastination is an obstacle on your path to success.

Ask yourself, "Will I just sit back and continue to make excuses and watch success happen around me or will I be a part of success"?

There is a cure for the chronic procrastinator and I will give you the formula right now. Grab a pen and paper and write the formula down right now!

First of all you must create a plan of action. A Plan of Action = Goal Setting.

Start off with a short term goal of 6 months that you will break up into 26 weeks and then into 182 days.

Once you have written your goals on paper make sure to put dates next to each goal .

Identify what you think your obstacles could or might be in getting to your six month goal.

Now I need you to identify the people, groups and organization that you need to help you accomplish your Plan of Action.

You will also need to write down {once you accomplish your daily, weekly and 6 month goal} what is in it for you. How will accomplishing your goals benefit you.

It is very important for you to write your Plan of Action down , because it assists you in visualizing what you are trying to accomplish.

Stop! Do not move on to continue to read the rest of this blog. Take a moment to do what was just asked of you and then continue on reading.

Note: Are you now going to finish reading my blog after writing down your Plan of Action?

Will if you did not stop and write your Plan of Action down as instructed then you just procrastinated.

I have just given you the formula to success to take the first step. {Food for Thought} Individuals that are successful know that people that do not take that first step will most likely not take the second step.

The three-class model is "rich", the "middle class", and the "poor". Breaking News! No matter what class model your in we all have the same about of time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For those of you saying, "I just don't have the time right now or later or better yet tomorrow". Here is something for you to think about: your problem with procrastination is not lack of time, it is lack of direction.

Now you have the formula , so you should cure your Chronic Procrastination with your Plan of Action which gives you direction to achieve success.

Do not let procrastination be your lifestyle make your lifestyle success. Opportunity will present itself and if you procrastinate you will miss out.
