Should you wait until you get the perfect results?

Or should you implement the idea?

Answer in this re-post from Lou Ludwig:

What do Procrastinators do

With a Good Idea?

Motivational Power Quote

 

What do Procrastinators do With a Good Idea?  

“Do you know what happens when you give a procrastinator

a good idea? Nothing!.”

Donald Gardner

As I see it . . . . . . .

What do procrastinators do with a good idea?

 

They file it away . . . . for future reference.

 

They send if to . . . . a committee for consideration.

 

They will find . . . . 6 1/2 reasons not to act on it.

 

They know it won’t work . . . . so there’s no reason to work on it.

 

They will pass it on to . . . . a subordinate to review.

 

They will pass it on to . . . .  their supervisor because it’s above their pay grade..

 

When asked about the idea they will deny . . . . ever seeing it.

 

They will put it behind . . . . a file cabinet for someone to find in 35 years.

 

They will delete . . . . the file from their computer.

 

They move it to . . . . to a do list for tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow they will move it . . . . to the day after to tomorrow.

 

Handling a good idea is always . . . . moved to tomorrow.

 

What do procrastinators do with a good idea? Nothing if they can get away with it. And as they say there’s always tomorrow or the day after that.

Good morning Praful.  Putting off something until tomorrow is not in my vocabulary.

Good morning Praful. Not in my wheelhouse to have a long "to do" list. Like a long "done" list!

Most of them just let their idea's die a terrible death.

Having a long 'Done list' is definitely a good thing - no more procrastination!

(And I am sure that list is a result of 'To Do' list, Wayne...)

And I love that vocabulary since the 'tomorrow' word is missing from that.

I am sure most of them just don't take any action on their ideas.

Very well said, John.

Procrastination impedes the idea - and the result is zero.
