Fight Procrastination Day
Yesterday it was cool to procrastinate. My what a difference a day makes.
To many people, procrastination is a way of life. The more difficult the action or decision, the easier it is to join the league of procrastinators. As a procrastinator, you are in very good company. You can even become a card carrying member of a Procrastinator's club.
Today is a day to fight procrastination. Make a decision. Take action. Do it now. Do it today. It may be hard to do. But you will be glad you did.
"Never put of until tomorrow, what you can do today!"—Mark Twain
My brother asked me "What does procrastination mean?" I said "I'll tell you tomorrow.”
Read A Book Day
Take time out of your busy life, and relax with a good book. Cozy up on a chair, indoors or out. It doesn't matter where you read that book, as long as you can do so in a comfortable manner. If you doze off along the way, no one will know unless you tell someone.
Reading is a great lifetime hobby. It offers so many positive attributes. It's relaxing and therapeutic. It's educational. It’s entertaining. And, a whole lot of other good things, too. Read your favorite author or someone new
If you have young children, or elderly people in your home, take the time to read a book to them today. It is a wonderful time to bond with them and it creates pleasant, lasting memories.
"With the past, I have nothing to do, nor with the future.
I live now."—Ralph Waldo Emerson
