5 RULES to Beat PROCRASTINATION: Time-Devouring Monster vs. EPICTETUS
You know the feeling when you keep putting off your daily tasks and even your life-defining goals?
You find new excuses for your indecision, giving yourself extra time to stay inactive, almost as if you're celebrating your laziness, even though you fully understand the importance of what needs to be done.
Some people even delay their daily routines for an entire year — or for the next one!
Procrastination — the silent thief of time and potential, a relentless, time-devouring monster — often stems from a lack of mental energy, focus, or emotional readiness to tackle tasks.
To overcome it, it's important to practice patience after all — patience to watch this video all the way through to uncover how to break free from this long-lasting monstrous skill-killer and take charge of your life starting now.
"If cattle had opinions, they would make fun of anyone interested in anything besides the grass!" (c) Epictetus.

"My mind. What is it?" Thoughtful Questions from MARCUS AURELIUS
"Your three components: body, breath, mind. Two are yours in trust; to the third alone you have clear title. If you can cut yourself-your mind-free of what other people do and say, of what you've said or done, of the things that you're afraid will happen, the impositions of the body that contains you and the breath within, and what the whirling chaos sweeps in from outside, so that the mind is freed from fate, brought to clarity, and lives life on its own recognizance - doing what's right, accepting what happens, and speaking the truth - If you can cut free of impressions that cling to the mind, free of the future and the past-can make yourself, as Empedocles says, 'a sphere rejoicing in its perfect stillness,' and concentrate on living what can be lived (which means the present) . . . then you can spend the time you have left in tranquility. And in kindness. And at peace with the spirit within you." (c) Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations".
