Thanks for another great post, Vicki! Jeff Olson’s The Slight Edge is one of my favorite books and one I’m sure to put in my young children’s hands as soon as they’re able to comprehend it – we’re a ways off from that, one is just learning to read and the other is a year behind the first!

At any rate procrastination definitely kills opportunity and I’ve found that in almost every case, it’s far easier to just do the thing quickly and not punish myself by thinking I should be doing some thing productive. In a way, I find that my time is easier to manage if I simply get the important things out of the way. Once the “first quadrant” stuff is finished, the rest seems to fall into place!

Thanks Cherie! That quote from Og Mandino is one of my all time favorites, and I Tweet that out every so often.

You’re going in the right direction to create your goals list, and just realize that it is ok to adjust your plan from time to time as long as your goal is well defined and you continue to head right for it!

All the best in your success!

I JUST saw your tweet on this, and saw this quote somewhere (don’t remember off hand) yesterday!

“Action will destroy your procrastination.” ~ Og Mandino

So true, and I sure need help and am appreciative of this article you’ve written, thank you!

I don’t have ‘clearly defined goals’ so that is what I’m going to work on right away.

Looking forward to reading more, thanks again,
Cherie

Hi Gabriele!

Absolutely, it makes sense to me, because I run on a Must-Do priority most of the time! There are so many things on my plate that the most necessary things have to be done first, which keeps me very busy I must say!

And yes, for those most daunting tasks, like putting together my Fan page, figuring out how to do it, and all of that, finally got done when I sat down and made an outline!

Organization really does help!

Wishing You Brilliant Success,

I managed to find this post just now, I am bad bad bad like that.
I have to say that, for me at least, planning helps a lot.
If I have something daunting I have to do, it helps me to plan it for an exact time in an exact day (hopefully, the same day!) and deal with it when the alarm goes off.
It’s a sort of MUST-DO mechanism, I know I have to do it ’cause my planner says so.
Does it make sense?
