Procrastination is a hustlers worst enemy
By Lilly singh in her book How to be a Bawse
As clichéd as it sounds, procrastination is a bigger threat than you may perceive it to be.
And it doesn’t just mean putting off things on your to-do list.
It also means not taking immediate action on a thought.
Most of the times, delaying an action makes you much less likely to actually act on it.
And this is just called being human.
For instance, i’m sitting in front of the tv mentally listing out all the things i need to get done.
I can sit in front of the tv for 4 hours making this list, while reducing the time i’m actually giving myself to complete those tasks.
Or
The second i start making the mental list, i can jump straight up and go sit in front of my laptop so that i have no other option but to get started on the work.
Which of these scenarios will help me get the most out of my day?
Delayed action = Delayed gratification
And who wants that😂
So try it out.
Next time you get a thought, immediately take action on it and see the difference in your work quality + overall mood throughout the day.
