The PRICE of Procrastination

Procrastination is the avoidance of doing a task which needs to be accomplished. It is the practice of doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, or carrying out less urgent tasks instead of more urgent ones, thus putting off impending tasks to a later time.

We procrastinate for one simple reason. We don’t see the consequences very clearly.

If someone could invent a machine that would show us a movie of what our life COULD have been, we would be in shock.

Imagine if a few years ago when you decided to go on that diet or start working out at the gym, you actually had done it (and stuck to it). What would your body look like today? I bet it would look amazing.

Imagine if a few years ago when you had decided to read more and study how to make more money, you actually had done it (and stuck to it). What would your bank account look like today? I bet you would have a hell of a lot more saved up.

No one has yet invented that machine to show us that parallel universe where we hadn’t procrastinated. The good news is that our brains are powerful enough to do the projections for us.

Try this: think of someone you admire, someone in better shape, someone making great money, and imagine if their life was yours. Then be brave and make the leap.  I bet the main difference between them and you is they didn’t procrastinate as much as you have. Now, use that realization to turn the ship around.

One of my mentors, named Alex, when I was at was in an older Marketing System a number of years ago told me, “I’ve worked with millionaires for decades. The only difference between most millionaires and everyone else is that millionaires actually DO the things everyone else knows they should be doing.”  This was also the reason my friend had his financial freedom and I yet did not.  He took Action.

It’s not magic.  They just do the simple things. What will change your life is not some elusive secret. The closest thing I can see to a “magic formula” is once a week running through a projections of all the amazing things you have missed out in life so far because of procrastination.

This pain will be like rocket fuel to get you out of bed when you feel like being lazy. (Don’t do it too often or it can be depressing, haha…)

Don’t be afraid to honestly admit that you have missed out on some big things. But be optimistic enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel on an amazing future — if you rise to the occasion. Doing this fairly often will absolutely change your life for the better.
