Om Swami
How can I stop putting things off and get myself to act right away?
Count to five, then act
When you have to do something, count 1, 2, 3 and begin before you reach five. If you give yourself more than five seconds, your conscious mind starts calculating and makes you say you will do it tomorrow.
If you give yourself more than five seconds, your conscious mind comes into play and starts calculating. It makes you lazy and makes you say, I'll maybe do it tomorrow.
