START NOW

-

“You can not escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today”
Abraham Lincoln









Start now!

I will do it later.
Not yet time.
It would be tomorrow.
There is still a lot of time.


What you think is far is already around the corner. Until you start living a life free of procrastination, you would not go far in life.

 What do you want to do?
Start now!

Stop procrastinating and STOP  saying later. 

Now is the right time to start.

At the beginning of the year, people normally write new year resolutions and new year goals that they wish to achieve.
The major thing that debars them from achieving these goals is procrastination. This is a disease that has killed the dreams of many and it is still killing it. 

People that procrastinate always feel they have time, they wait till it is very close to the deadline only to do it wrong or not at all. 

Start now! 

Oh! I want to make an A grade in school then you should start preparing now. Don't wait till it is exam time and you have to burden yourself with so many notes to read. 

I want to save for a particular business then start saving now.
Organize your day, let your day align with your short term and long term goals.

Let's get rid of this disease that keeps on eating our goals. 

PROCRASTINATION
 
Have a schedule for your day.

 I want to read the whole Bible within the year then have a plan.

The Bible has 929 chapters, divide it by 365 days and you know that you should read at least three chapters. 

Instead of being mentally lazy, be mentally active.
Let your mind and body tune in into the fact that you have something to do and you want to start now
Sometimes it could be looking hard at times but once you get used to it, you would see how easy it would become. 

Start now!
Let us turn procrastination to our advantage  by :

Putting in all your best in what you can do now.
Reminding yourself that tomorrow has its own workload
Overcoming the thoughts of procrastination with your actions.
Creating time to do what you want to do now!
Reviving the zeal to do it now!
Achieving today’s goals!
Surrounding yourself with all you need to get it done now
Taking the lead today
Investing in your greatest asset, TIME
Never giving up or throwing in the towel
Acquiring the knowledge you need to use today
Timing yourself for every task
Enabling yourself to do it !


Using the acronyms above then we can now P R O C R A S T I N A T E... but do not procrastinate. 
  
I would end with this quote by Roy Bennett

 “Your life is happening right now: Don’t let procrastination take over your life. Be brave and take risks. Your life is happening right now”
ROY BENNETT
