Narrative I’ve procrastinated and putt off my desire to write a book for a decade. I always came up with excuses like, “it’s not the right time.” Or, “I need to do more research.” PDF / EPUB File Name: Do_It_Today_Overcome_Procrastination_-_Darius_Foroux.pdf, Do_It_Today_Overcome_Procrastination_-_Darius_Foroux.epub The importance of creating a productive work environment. This means having a clean and organized workspace, having the right tools and resources, and being comfortable. The title didn’t have a profound meaning when I first wrote this book. I had written an article called Do It Today, which I thought captured my philosophy for life nicely. But I didn’t give the title much thought. Lately, I’ve been repeating the phrase Do It Today to myself while doing hard work. Today I went on an intense ride on my road bike, and towards the end of the one-hour workout, I repeated the phrase to myself.

Customer reviews

Think about past successes. Thinking about past successes makes you happy. Celebrate the small wins in life. This is something that I have to do more of. Almost all the examples in the book are from the author’s life. This makes the book a little too personal for the readers’ liking. The author could have instead focused on citing instances from different walks of life, for this would have helped him reach out to and connect with a much larger audience. QUOTES These two lessons are true for every person who wants a long, happy, and satisfying career. But it’s very hard to put that advice into practice. It took me the first six years of my career to figure that out. And I still have to remind myself that life is bigger than work. Almost everywhere that I’ve worked in the past, there was a “perception is reality” culture.
