"Procrastination is the thief of time" said my great uncle Ernest aged 80.
"What's he talking about?" said I aged 20.
By age 30 I was an arch-procrastinator!
The cure?
When I left my post in Denmark to return to the UK, my staff put on a leaving do, but my technician, Ole, was ill and couldn't attend: instead he sent me a letter of thanks.
"I must call Ole and thank him in return" I thought, again and again and again.
Eventually six months later I did call only to be told, "Oh I'm sorry, haven't you heard, Ole passed away two months ago."
Do you have a personal cure for procrastination that you would like to share as a comment to help other people?
