Procrastination Is The Enemy Of Success

Procrastination Is The Enemy Of Success

“Do it now” is a simple phrase, but it’s also very powerful. It can help us to overcome procrastination, take action on our goals, and live a more successful life.



We procrastinate for many reasons. Sometimes we’re afraid of failure. Other times we simply not sure where to start. But whatever the reason, procrastination holds us back from achieving our goals and realizing success. I love this quote by Hunter S. Thompson…

“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”

The good news is that procrastination is a habit that can be broken. And one of the best ways to break it is to simply start doing things now. Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Don’t wait for everything to be lined up just right. Just start and do it now!


Of course, it’s not always easy to do things now. Sometimes we need to get outside our comfort zone. The important thing is to take action. Even if it’s just a small step, it’s better than doing nothing.



Here are a few tips for overcoming procrastination and doing things now:

  • Break down your goals into smaller, more manageable steps. This will make them seem less daunting and more achievable.
  • Set deadlines for yourself. This will help you to stay on track and avoid putting things off until the last minute.
  • Get a mentor. Having someone else to support you and hold you accountable can help you to stay motivated and on track.
  • Reward yourself for your accomplishments. This will help you to stay positive and motivated.


Remember, procrastination is a habit that can be broken. Just start doing things now. If you have a goal and take action, you can achieve anything you want!
