About this episode

Stop Procrastination The Easy Way

Are you a member of the Procrastination Club?  

Procrastination is the intentional and systematic postponement of an essential task.  

Is that what you are doing?

Even if you are putting things off, is it possible that you are not procrastinating? You may force yourself to do something you don't need or want to do.  

Yes, you must complete tasks to get ahead in life. That's being responsible. 

However, if your list of un-done keeps getting longer, it might be time to ask yourself a question -

Is what you are procrastinating on essential? Do you need to do it at all?

It's not always procrastination. If something is essential, you always get it done - right?
