Why wait for tomorrow when today is Fight Procrastination Day — Do It Day! What better time to move and get things done...

Ever notice that worrying about a project often takes longer than just doing it? “Tomorrow,” you think.

“By and by never comes,” warned St. Augustine in his Confessions.

The agony of guilt, the dread of deadlines, the remorse of responsibilities… all weigh more than action itself.

“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task,” observed William James, writer and philosopher.

Yes, it's tough to start a job you don’t like. It’s challenging when you're already overwhelmed. But if you’ve been putting things off, here are a few steps to break free from delay:

• Accept that you have to do the task
• Make a to-do list
• Set realistic goals and objectives
• Break your goal into manageable parts
• Celebrate the process and make it meaningful
• Promise yourself a reward
• And keep thinking positively!

“Lord, help me to do with a smile those things I have to do anyway,” admitted Hollywood producer Hal Roach.
