life lesson

Have you ever wondered why you ALWAYS seem to wait until the last minute to get something deathly important done? Or maybe why you seem to always end up writing that paper/project at 4:45am the night before you have to present it? If either one of these situations tends to be you, this entry has your name on it: You, the Procrastinator.

How do you beat the addiction to procrastination? I'm going to tell you how you lazy, last-minute, son-of-a-gun.

Visualize Failure

Great people tend to be EXTREMELY confident. Honestly, they can sometimes border know-it-all status. The best way to get yourself OFF your butt and do whatever it is you need to do is to visualize what will happen if you fail. If its a major project, you'll get an F on it and probably fail the class. If its something work related, you'll get written up or fired. Sometimes you have to threaten yourself by using failure as collateral into making you handle your business.

I went through a very trying time in my life once.  I was so depressed. 

So many things had happened, gradually extinguishing my once bright spirit.

I’ve heard many people describe depression as a mountainous wave that sweeps you away before you’ve learnt how to swim.  You drown – really fast.
