Worries Of A Procrastinator Ready For Change

I woke up this morning with a very lucid dream. I saw myself in a room – without a door and window. It felt more of like I’m in a box. The feeling was eerie and I didn’t like where I was. I was trying to get out but it seems that I’m stuck. Until I saw this ladder just lying down on the floor and realized that it was just there all the time. I hurriedly went to the ladder and saw that it wasn’t sturdy enough to carry my weight. But, I still struggled to put it against the wall and trying to climb up the ceiling (apparently, it was the only way out). When I was about to touch the ceiling and saw the light, I woke up. The ray of the sun passing through the window was naively mantling my whole face. I then got up from bed and spent 10 minutes just thinking and reflecting about my dream. Everything felt so real. I then snapped out of it and knew what I had to do. I had this really big project coming up in less than 2 weeks and I still haven’t done anything relevant for it. No inputs were done and wasted time gathering all the necessary materials. I haven’t even spent quality time with my family for the past 6 months and still bombarded with tons of tasks. I realized that only if I applied the principles from Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat That Frog!” my life would be a lot more organized and easier. But, I can’t start procrastinating and blaming myself again – that will just waste time. So, what I have in mind is to apply it now like a “lifesaver” and see if I can pull everything off. I just hope everything works.

The Art of Success

I understand that you are now what I used to be. I have found myself in a trap where I felt that I am going nowhere and bounded with the so-called “rat race”. I lived a stressful life before. I was trying to achieve financial freedom but found myself just working to pay all my monthly bills. My life didn’t change until I became a “frog eater”.

Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat That Frog!” made me a much more relaxed and positive person. It taught me simple approaches in my daily tasks and responsibilities. Just by eating the frogs, I learned how to prioritize and approach everything. I can now say I live a successful life. I enjoy my family’s company, my development as an individual and my finances is starting to establish.

The art of success entails discipline and focus. Never soak yourself up with a lot of external pressures. It simply destroys your initiative as an individual. Learning from Brian Tracy’s work of art is simply fascinating. The techniques are easy to follow and it brings everything in perspective. The art of success is like a jigsaw puzzle where only you can figure your way up.

Motivating Thyself

“What is it in me that holds me back?”

“What should I perform to accelerate my motivation to accomplish?”

These are common questions when one is in the crossroads. We are now living in a fast changing world where the demands of each profession sky rockets. If you’re not contented with your current job simply tells you that you are not growing as an individual in that field. Your interest and your drive to succeed are in the drain. No matter what your efforts are, you still feel unmotivated and held back. You envy others who enjoy their profession that ends up in procrastination.

Stop there and try to pause for a while. You have been dwelling in the most powerful negative vibration – self-destruction.

Brian Tracy’s hit, “Eat That Frog!” tell you to stop & relax. Try to define your purpose again and know where your passion rests. By doing so, it’ll give you a fresh start and find yourself motivated again. It will make everything clear like a bird’s eye view. It’s just like a footy game. The audience sees what the players did or did not. The players just played but didn’t see what you saw. Be the audience. Look everything in a different angle. You might just find the missing piece of the puzzle.

Motivating thyself needs not to be rushed. You need to spend time for yourself because it’s your self silently shouting for attention. By jump starting your game plan and focus will help improve your performance. According to Gandhi, “There is more to life than just increasing its speed.”

The Day When I Ate That Frog

I have been involved with the community welfare services of our small town. I am a reliable and confident community manager. With the trainings I've undergone, it has made me well geared for the 'real' world with skills to tackle 'real' problems. With the use of my leadership skills, I usually get things done in no time. But, motivating my personnel was a tough job. Coming from different sorts of background, they were really hard to motivate and it was hard for them to comprehend what I really wanted to happen. Until one day when my supervisor called for a spot meeting. The meeting ruled out all the problems my unit was undergoing. My boss then asked me to deal with the problems as soon as possible. He wouldn't want to risk on loosing anything. Thus, I was forced to come up with a solution.

So what I did was to call for a conference with all the staff and scheduled for a weekend team building. To make the long story short, I applied "Eat That Frog's" principles of

* Thinking on Paper
* Goal Setting
* Prioritization
* Planning
* Action
* Evaluation



With different games and discussions, it caught my unit's enthusiasm and creativity in dealing with their daily, weekly, monthly frogs. They have become more dynamic in solving their own problems and hold a positive attitude towards a COMMON GOAL. The day I ate that frog helped me transcend the same to my staff - the importance of productivity, time management and wealth. Now all of us can play tennis after office hours and just enjoy each other's company.
