Good Morning my Family !
My message today is on Procrastination which is one of the biggest struggles I have . I picked up a book called Eat that Frog ( 21 ways to stop procrastinating and get more
done in less time) - the intro to this book is what I'd like to share today.
This
is a wonderful time to be alive. There have never been more
possibilities and opportunities for you to achieve more of your goals
than exist today. As perhaps never before
in human history, you are actually drowning in options. In fact, there
are so many good things that you can do, that your ability to decide
among them may be the critical determinant of what you accomplish in
Life.
If
you are like most people today, you are overwhelmed with too much to do
and too little time. As you struggle to get caught up, new tasks and
responsibilities just keep rolling
in, like the waves of the ocean. Because of this, you will never be
able to do everything you have to do. You will never be caught up. You
will always be behind in some of your tasks and responsibilities, and
probably in many of them.
For
this reason, and perhaps more than ever before, your ability to select
your most important task at each moment, and then to get started on that
task and to get it done
both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your
success than any other quality or skill you can develop.
An
average person who develops the habit of setting clear priorities and
getting important tasks completed quickly will run circles around a
genius who talks a lot and makes
wonderful plans but who gets very little done.
Mark Twain once said that if the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that that is probably the
worst thing that is going to happen to you all day long .
Love, Preston
