It's a week planner with tips to help keep procrastinators productive. I might get around to using it at some point. You've made some excellent points about how important it is to act now rather than later. The next challenge is deciding which action to take now of the many productive choices we could make.

Proscrastination Is The Robber Of Profits....certainly is from the comments I've read. Author Napoleon Hill quoted these words for overcoming procrastination. "The principle of concentration is the medium by which procrastination is overcome. The same principle is the foundation upon which both self confidence and self-esteem are predicated," Another great helpful source is Mark Joyner's Simpleology Daily Target Praxis which helps you to examine yourself each day, providing you with the insight you need so you will never get lost in the "busy work" that doesn't really get you any closer to your Target.

Never easy when you know what you've missed. This time of year I do allow myself some procrastination, just so that the season is more fun. On the other hand, it has lead to some stress too, especially since we only last night put our tree up. Not a business kind of procrastination, but still no fun. But yes, in business I've been procrastinating too. I know many of the places where I've been letting things slide right now. Ouch. Never easy when you know what you’ve missed.

She finally decided to start writing about it. http://christmaswithliss.blogspot.com/ I am amazed at how much of the stuff you write about here intersects with what my interests are. LOL.

Everything else is optional. Please put your feet up and enjoy each other. This Christmas with a new little cannot be replaced by stressing out about things.

In fact, I was supposed to do my Christmas shopping today but put it off until tomorrow. And to be really honest, my Christmas shopping tomorrow will be the beginning and I have to get it all done then. Yep, that's what happens when you wait until the last minute. :( I don't like shopping at all, and I was going to do my Christmas shopping online again this year (like you), but I put it off, and since I'm not willing to pay more for overnight shipping, I have to brave the cold and the crowds tomorrow. Last year I actually got my shopping done in November and everything arrived on time. Oh well, one of these days I might learn my lesson. ;) I’m always putting things off to the last minute when I know I shouldn’t.
