Theme for August 20 - Procrastination
Aug 18th, 2009 by garrettb
Hi All,
This week’s theme is Procrastination. The inner battle - Who will win? “The you that rolls over at 7 am and pretends your alarm is a figment of your imagination” vs. “The you who chooses to get up and go to the gym and stay healthy”.
It’s the ageless argument between the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other that has plagued us since the dawn of consciousness. The part that thinks if we forget about it, pretend it doesn’t exist it will go away. It’s amazing the justifications we can come up with to avoid what might be an uncomfortable task.
So is it?
“Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.”
- Wayne Gretzky
or
“Procrastination is the key to prolonging life.”
- Unknown
So for your intro this week, send me the best excuse you gave yourself to avoid doing something that was uncomfortable but had to be done.
