The Last Minute!
This time we look at the last minute phenomenon.
That unusual thing that so many adults suffer and that many more school children do as well. Leaving things to the last minute.
We all remember being at school and getting 6 weeks to do an assignment and then working frantically at the last day to have it ready to turn in. Does the school system have some unwitting agenda to teach us to be more timely and respect time as a resource not to be wasted. Lets face it. It doesn't work for a lot of us.
There are many little things that have no easy answer but that we should not accept as being part and parcel of our make up.
The last minute curse is one of them. There is something you can do that does work and the more you do it the more effective it becomes.
Just start the task. Don't worry if you don't feel like doing it. Just start. Say to yourself that you will commence the task well before the due date and commit to doing it for ten minutes. Just taking this sort of action will get you on your way to finishing things well before their final due dates. I wont say why, just try it and seize the power that will come to you. Who knows the more productive you may just start to find things a bit easier.
