Stop Procrastinating

How can you beat the procrastination habit? Remember the story of the Princess and the Toad, where an unhappy Princess frees a handsome Prince from a frog’s body with a kiss? Imagine if she avoided the Toad and instead thought: “How disgusting. I’ll never kiss you.” The story would have a new ending. Rather than marrying a handsome prince and living a great life, the Princess would continue along her way, unhappy and despairing, having missed a great opportunity.

Toads are a part of life; every problem, issue and situation you would like to avoid is really a ‘Toad.’ They come in all shapes and sizes, - from not doing taxes, to going to the dentist, to maintaining homes and vehicles - and you can’t hide from them. You may set them aside and hope they’ll go away, but Toads don’t vanish. Actually, when neglected, they typically get bigger, smellier, and slimier. Action is the only way to get rid of Toads.

To lick your Toads, you need to practice the 5 Ds – Do it, Decide on it, Delegate it, Delete it, and Date it. Most of the time, licking your Toads isn’t as nasty as you thought. It may actually leave you feeling relieved and energized and freed up to get more of what you really want in your life. And, once you lick your Toads regularly and without apprehension, the Law of Motion – objects in motion tend to stay in motion – takes over, propelling you forward to easily overcome all kinds of Toads.
