Procrastination
A little movie with a big idea! William James, one of the founders of modern psychology, spoke those words. And how true they are! A few years ago, I heard a tip about procrastination that I never forgot. For me, it truly was an "a-ha moment!" Well, here it is...with a warning: Once you see this 2 minute movie, it'll be hard to forget!
