Stop Procrastinating

I finally crossed something off from my 'to-do' list that's been bugging me for ages. Each time the alert came up on my screen to get it done, I just postponed it til 'tomorrow'. It's been going on for so long now, I stopped even registering what the message said. It became almost normal for me to get the alert and put it off again.

Boy, it feels good to actually dismiss it now, knowing that the task is done and over with.

Sometimes, life is like that, though. There are things that we know we just have to do, but if we can just put it off another 24 hours, it will be better. And, sometimes, that procrastination is valid, because something more important has to be done first. And, more often than not, it's just because we don't want to do it for some reason.

The next time you put off a task, think about it. Are you really going to do it tomorrow? Is there really a justified reason why you can't do it today? Or even now? You see, what happens is that you still won't want to do it tomorrow, and you'll find an excuse then too, not to do it. So, you may as well get it done now and not worry about it any more. Then, you'll feel good too, knowing it's crossed off the list.


I dare you... Go and check your to-do list now, and do something on it that you've been putting off for a while. Then tell me how you feel about it.
