DO YOU PROCRASTINATE?
Do you find excuses about everything OR just the things you don’t like doing?
Many times avoiding a problem or chore or bill can be very costly,
It can cost unneeded interest payments, unnecessary repair bills, and often replacing an item.
THE SOLUTION: DO IT NOW!
My personal experience taught me to get the things I didn’t like doing “out of the way” then I could enjoy the rest of the time doing the things I LIKED.
As a child, I knew that I had to eat all my meal, before I got dessert, SO; I ate the things I liked least first and then ended my meal with the good stuff. My reward, plus dessert.
