Struggling with Procrastination? Eat That Frog!

Have you eaten your “Frog” Today?

William James once said “Procrastination is attitude’s natural assassin. There’s nothing so fatiguing as an uncompleted task.”

Over the years I have found this statement to be true, in both my personal life as well as my business life. I have been Procrastinating about a Blog Post about Procrastination!!! If that isn’t a sure sign that I am a true Procrastinator!!!!

Brian Tracy says it best when he talks about Eating your “Frog” at the beginning of your day. “Your “frog” should be the most difficult task on your Things-to-do List.”

Imagine if you took care of the most difficult thing FIRST, how do you think you will feel? Relieved? Accomplished? Ready to move onto the next, not so difficult thing?

If you were to leave the Frog sitting there for the day, what do you think will happen the following day? I know first hand what will happen. It will sit there the next day, and the next day, and the day after that as well. Pretty soon, a week, a month, 3 months have gone by and guess what is STILL sitting there???? THAT DARN FROG!!!

“Procrastination can take a surprisingly high toll on your life, causing stress, illness, and low self-esteem. It keeps you from attaining your goals and fulfilling your dreams.” Rita Emmett, Author of The Procrastinator’s Handbook”

I am tired of the "Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit," I hear each and everyday. Are You?

For those struggling with Procrastination be sure to take a look at Brian Tracy’s “Eat that Frog.” You can watch a short clip at www.EatThatFrogMovie.com. Another great resource I have found is “The Procrastinator’s Handbook” written by Rita Emmett.


I will leave you with one last quote regarding Procrastination!

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.....

A Creed To Live by Nancye Sims.

"Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.

It is because we are different that each of us are special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only do what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or in the future. By living one day at a time you live all days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible. The fastest way to lose love is to hold to it tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope, to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way."

Sharing a Great Blog Post by Robin Sharma

I wanted to share this Great Blog Post by Robin Sharma ~ Lead Where you are Planted

"All too often, we wait until ideal conditions appear before we show up at our best. We promise to display more initiative once we get the promotion, become a superb teammate once we get the raise and do world-class work once we receive the applause. But true leadership is about doing you’re absolute best under imperfect conditions. And leading where you are planted. An example.

On my last speaking tour, the final event was in Johannesburg. Post-workshop, our CEO and myself went out for a meal in Nelson Mandela Square. The sun was shining, the food was pretty good, the service was fine. But it was the awesome display of one distinct Leader Without a Title that still resonates in my mind. And that I need to tell you about.

As I walked into the washroom, I was greeted by a young man with a 1000 watt smile. His job was clearly to keep the place clean. Some would call him a janitor. But to me, he viewed himself as an inventor… innovating and iterating within his sphere of responsibility.

“Welcome to my office,” he spoke, with a sparkle in his eyes. “It’s nice to have you visit.” His uniform was impeccable. His counters were immaculate. And his manners, superb. He could have made excuses to deny his enthusiasm. Could have complained about the base position, the lack of authority, the limited power. But he didn’t.

Instead, he assumed his power-to influence all those he met, to impact others by his excellent example, and to inspire all by transcending his conditions. This young man did his work like Rembrandt painted, Beckham bends the ball, like Colombus explored.

My true point? No job is just a job, unless it’s viewed as just a job. All work is a platform to express creative potential, offer value and make a unique contribution. But we each face a choice each day as we walk out into the world: we can play a victim or we can step up to leadership. And in this messy, disrupted world we now work within, leadership at every level has become the single best way to win.

Keep Leading Without A Title. Robin Sharma"
