PROCRASTINATION
Procrastination
WILL DELAY YOUR LIFE
BY: ROMI NEUSTADT, AUTHOR
WE ALL procrastinate. Hell, just this
morning I delayed my workout for two
hours because I just couldn’t bring myself
to do it before all the coffee had kicked in.
Those little choices we make every day to
push aside to-do items and push ahead
deadlines can wreak havoc on our
productivity. And, over time, can delay our
success levels in a big way.

But I’m not talking about the little stuff. I’m
talking about procrastinating the BIG
STUFF. Not the daily workout, but making
your health a priority. Not getting to
everything on your to-do list today, but
deciding what you want your life to look
like in three years.
Now in my late 40's. All those times my
parents told me to enjoy every minute
because it all goes by in a blink? Yep, they
were right about that one, too.
And I’ve enjoyed most of it. Minus a few
awful relationships I shouldn’t have been in
and jobs I shouldn’t have taken. And minus
that period in my 20s when I had
absolutely no clue who I was and what I
was meant to do.
