Someday is today
Are you a bit of a procrastinator? Does just about anything grab your attention more than the matter at hand? You must be an interesting personality, but be careful: Procrastination can easily hurt you. And on top of all that, it can make you feel guilty. If you find yourself putting off important tasks over and over again, it will stop you from achieving things you are capable of, and what a shame that would be!

He that is good for making excuses is seldom
good for anything else.
- Benjamin Franklin

Someday is not a day of the week.

Bruno's commentary
Is your tendency to procrastinate prompted by the little rebel inside you? Does he tell you, ?You don't have to do it just now! Who?s to give you orders?? You should love your little rebel, but if he says this too often, he is more of a hindrance than a help. Why? When you put off things that should be done right now, maybe in favour of doing something that is more enjoyable, you can't attend to the things that are really important. And ? we both know it ? they?re not going to be done for a long time.

Do I hear you say: "Yeah, that?s a good point. I've got to think about it sometime"? See what I mean?
