you have. Thousands of people that have successfully killed procrastinated all
learnt to do what they needed to do when they needed to do it. Never put off
for tomorrow what can and should be done today.

The biggest motivation for what you need to do today comes
from the successes you had yesterday. Spare a few minutes every morning to
review where you were successful yesterday and let that thrill energize you to
get started on what you need to do today. By the time you are taking this last
bullet, procrastination is long dead and you have become a person of discipline
