September 11, 2018 Learn to be diligent
by observing those who
procrastinate.
Working in fits and starts, enthusiasm waxing and waning like the moon on steroids, unpredictable in the best of circumstances and undependable in the worst.
With the best intentions those who procrastinate just don’t seem to follow anything through to completion and so, even with good ideas, they don’t accomplish much. Maybe they find it easier to put things off to another day. Perhaps they feel overwhelmed by the task before them and escape to some mind-numbing activity like watching TV.
They may be the sweetest people we know, but they’re not dependable. And, sadly, we can’t trust them when tasks await.
Our lesson from them? We need to focus on the task at hand and stick with it.
Wisely pacing ourself, so we don’t get overworked on the one hand or lose interest on the other, we’ll get daily satisfaction from having set and progressed toward accomplishing our goal.
