As what the author said :
"Procrastination means you know what you need to do but don't do it. If you don't know what to do, you aren't procrastinating. You are thinking...."
1st part of the book helps you to identify are you a real procrastinator, or are you just a thinker? Why do you procrastinate?
How to stop procrastinating and do something. Success Means Entering the Risk Zone.
2nd part of the book talks about Resolution. the 7-step RESOLVEIt! decision making system.
R : Resolve Something!
E : Examine What You Already Know
S : Step into the Future
O : Overcome the Subtle Factor
L : Leap, Lurch, or Launch into Action
V : View and Evaluate Your Results
E : Enjoy Your Success or Learn from Experience and Then Move On
Some Quotes I like :
"You always have a choice, and that choice is to do something or do nothing."
"Talking doesn't count. To be a successful decision maker you have to take action."
"Forgives previous mistakes and expect new ones"
"You might fail, lose, or be wrong, but entering the Risk Zone means you might also succeed, win, and be right."
"If things have turned out well, consciously enjoy your success. You've earned it. If you are not satisfied, lick your wounds, learn what you can, and seek perspective."
"Both success and failure are temporary conditions. Life is moving on, and so are you."
"If you don't try, you know what the outcome will be. But if you give it your best shot, the possibilities are endless."
This sounds like the book for me - I put off everything till the last minute - or did when I was working. I am trying to do better with my Children's Church and Activities programs.
