We all procrastinate in some place in our lives and generally we are critical of ourselves for doing it. 

Now you can harness the tenacity of the procrastination habit and make your life better at the same time. 

Simply apply it to the habit of worrying. Whenever you start to worry, just say to yourself, "I will worry later when I have some solid evidence that I need to worry. Until then I will postpone my worry and do it later."

That's it. Put your worry off till later. We all know how easy it can be to postpone something. Simply apply that trait to the habit of worrying. 

I'm a little worried that this column is a mite too short. However…..
 
Till next time,

Pete

Perhaps the most famous subscriber to this variety of useful procrastination was Scarlett O'Hara. When things got just too much for Scarlett to bear, she would say "I'll think about it tomorrow". I've often suggested that my clients follow her lead, and I sometimes remind myself to do the same - but ten, again, I live in Atlanta!
