Wouldn't it be amazing if everyday we woke up every morning and completed everything we had planned to do that day? Actually, that would be more than amazing; on some days it would be a down right miracle. Sometimes life just gets in the way. But most of the time, we get in the way of ourselves.
Procrastination can be the difference between succeeding in a business and failing miserably. If you're in sales and you KNOW you need to make 10 cold calls a day and you choose to not do it, ultimately you hurt yourself. But when we procrastinate we also affect the well being of other people. In fact, if your procrastination is causing you to make less sales by doing the things you need to do, you hurt every single person in your orgaization whose job depends on you making the sale. From your direct manager, to the accounting department in house, to even the CEO.
To move forward, make a list of the things you intend to do that day. Methodically check them off. And then reward yourself in some way that will be meaningful to you. The economy depends on all of us doing our jobs better.
