Just Do It!
Noticed a trend recently! There is a ton of stuff on PROCRASTINATION and ways to over it come it.
Some of it has been great reading thanks to these guys…..
fitjerk , Karol (but like I said Karol… it’s not procrastination if it’s fuel for something else) Rob Sutton , Patrick , Charlie
I had a boss who fitjerk would love (thanks Andy) who had a real simple approach to overcoming the procrastination monster, we’d be talking about one thing or another, discussion a problem talking about a solution and it always ended with the same advice….. and it’s not contrary to my efforts for patience, but it definitely is persistence…
” Mick….JFDI ! ” or in case you missed the subtlety of the title ” Just F****N DO IT” , now I reckon Andy had this in the bag long before NIKE decided to make it a corporate logo/phrase (after all Andy was getting on a bit {sorry andy}
Now Andy is retired, but that voice rattles around in my head whenever the procrastination monster begins to chatter in my head (what you don’t have those little voices?)
So next time your thinking “I really should be doing….xxxx” take my old bosses advice and JFDI.

This post could not be any clearer on the point.
It’s true, at the end of the day, we just need to get on with it and get the job done, Mick.
Thanks Jimi, sometimes we all just need a small reminder that that is the case.
I am going to hear my dad say JFDI for the rest of my life. thanks for the reminder.
You’re welcome Justin…. it’s a simple but powerful little motivating comment isn’t it…. even if only for the fact that sometimes when it is said to you it makes you angry (which you then just channel into JFDI!)
You know….I DO have that little voice in my head but he’s always speaking French and just keeps screaming at me to “Take your f****n clothes off!” WTF?
Ahh DubiousMa there are many worse things that little voice could be screaming…. just take it as a compliment!
