Standing Still

This post is a little out of context now that I have actually begun meeting with my coach, but it was in my head an ought to get out. One of my problems--generally as well as sales-related--is that I am far too comfortable in justifying my own inaction.

I lay in bed in the morning, getting later and later, and yet I tell myself it's OK. Because I'll be working late. Because I stayed up late. Because I can totally shower, dress and eat breakfast in 7 minutes. (I can't.)

That phone call can totally wait until tomorrow. That person is so much more likely to pick up the phone tomorrow morning, or hey, the next day is even better.

So yes, I'm using big words here to say that I'm a procrastinator, but the trouble is that I've gotten so good at it. This needs to change. I am hoping that being excited about what I am doing will help, but I also know I need to turn my inner justifier into my inner motivator.
