Procrastination

Everyone has probably procrastinated at one time or another.  They may then blame poor time-management skills, but do people turn away from what they SHOULD be doing because they don’t have time, or because it isn’t what they WANT to do.  Either way, the one who suffers is the YOU of the future.

According to Tim Urban, “No one ‘builds a house.’ They lay one brick again and again and again and the end result is a house. Procrastinators are great visionaries—they love to fantasize about the beautiful mansion they will one day have built—but what they need to be are gritty construction workers, who methodically lay one brick after the other, day after day, without giving up, until a house is built.”

The topic of procrastination is very appropriate for this time of year.  Soon it will be time to “render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s.”   Now is the time to be sure all of your bookkeeping is up-to-date for your business.  You don’t want the end of the year to sneak up on you – you have three months to get your books in a good place.  So whether your procrastination stems from lack of time or desire, be kind to your future self and contact us to start helping you today.
