Stop procrastinating and become productive

When you have to make a choice and don’t make it, that in itself is a choice.

If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.

It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth – and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up – that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

How soon ‘not now’ becomes ‘never.'

In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.

A year from now you may wish you had started today.

If you don’t pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, it will take more of your attention than it deserves.

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.

Think of many things; do one.

Procrastination is the thief of time: Year after year it steals, till all are fled, and to the mercies of a moment leaves the vast concerns of an eternal scene.

To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favour of holding meetings.

Follow effective actions with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

How wonderful it is, that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started.

Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work in hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

It is not really work if you are having fun.

Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.
