Avoid Procrastination and Do It Now!
By Dr. Raymond J. Huntington
Instead of putting things off, motivate yourself by thinking: "There's no time like the present," "The sooner I get it done, the sooner I can play," "There's no such thing as perfectionism. It's an illusion that keeps me from doing what I have to do right now" and "It's cheaper and less painful if I do it now rather than waiting until it gets worse."
Design clear goals.
