A lot of us prepare schedules for activities to be done, but starting is the problem. Your mind, your ability to think, plan and decide is your most powerful tool for overcoming procrastination and increasing your productivity.
whatever situation you find yourself today is as a result of what your yesterday was and wherever you find yourself tomorrow starts with the effect of your today. It is said that if today you haven't learnt something new, something diferent or something refreshing, you are a day behind.
People who hawk, or beg for meals never wished for that; but you need to fight out procastination.Your ability to set goals, make plans, and take action on them determines the course of your life.
There is never enough time to do anything whatsoever you want to do in life. You are literally swamped with work and personal responsibilities, projects, stocks of magazines to read and piles of books you intend to study.
You can get control of your time and your life by changing the way you think, work and deal with the never ending river of responsibilities that flows over you eachday.
This leads me to story of Brian Tracy:
"Coming from an unsuccessful background, I had developed deep feelings of inferiority and inadequacy. I did poorly in school and left without graduating. I worked at labouring jobs for several years, my future did not appear promising.
I struggled from sale to sale until I began looking around me and asking "why is it that other people are doing better than I am?" Then I did something that changed my life, I began to ask successful people what they were doing that enabled them to be more productive and earn more money than me. I did what they advised me to do and my sales went up.
I realised that I could change my life and achieve almost any goal I could set if I just found out what others were doing in that and then did it myselfuntil I got the same results they were getting. Within one year of starting in sales, I was a top salesman, a year later I was mada a manager. Within three years, I became a vice President in charge of ninety-five person sales force in 6 countries. I was twenty five years old.
The ability to concentrate single mindedly on your most important task, to do it well and to finish it completely is the key to great success, achievement, respect status and happiness in life.
Let the picture of what you see yourself in the future be the driving force. No one wants to live a life of mediocrity, its just a wish when not put into action. We have all heard several times that when one fails to plan, one definitely plans to fail. But really! despite that a lot of us still do not plan.
There are 3 categories of people;
- Those who make things happen.
- Those who watch things happen.
- Those who wonder why things are happening.

- Information is the key to transformation , if you are not informed, you would be deformed, if you are not updated; you would be outdated, If you are not inspired; you would expire, if you are not in the flow; you won't be in the know.
