One day, a curious-and-often-getting-himself-in-trouble little kid (the term for young goat) named Royce strayed from herd and found that he had tumbled into a deserted well. Straight down he fell with no apparent way out of hole.

Royce cried and cried, attracting attention of farmer.

After numerous attempts to save Royce, farmer could no longer stand his bleating pleas for help so he decided only thing he could do was to put kid out of its misery and bury it in well.

He invited his neighbors to assist him in painful and only way conceivable way farmer could see to put an end to problem.

Royce stood at bottom of well, sad and dejected. He was unaware of farmer's plan was for him. He had grown tired of crying for help. He changed his strategy to deep thinking and trust that he would soon be presented with a solution if he kept his eyes, mind and heart open.

He simply knew tools to his freedom would appear.

He spent time in quiet contemplation, allowing peace to fill him where sadness used to be. He meditated, focusing on his breathing.

As he felt contentment rise from deep within his spirit, he found himself surrounded in raining dirt from above.

He noted dirt with curiosity as he saw his hoofs were quickly covered with its brownness.

He realized something in that moment and took action.

Procrastination is as natural to human beings as eating. It 's easy to do things we want to do, but things we find difficult or unpleasant are what we put off. And sometimes delaying a little bit here and there is not a big deal. But if procrastination is habitual for you, and is causing things to happen in your life that you don't want to happen, it's time for a new sheriff in town.

Simply, procrastination is just a habit of making wrong choices. It's choosing to take a nap instead of mowing lawn. It's deciding to watch "Friends" instead of working out. It's opting to socialize with a co-worker instead of working on a project. It's cleaning off your desk instead of getting prepared for a meeting. It's "I'll do it later".

Now there's nothing inherently wrong with any of these choices. As an adult you have luxury of choosing how you behave, and choosing your own responsibilities. And we all have responsibilities that we don't particularly care for. But if you allow Procrastination to make choices that aren't good for you, or that you don't really want to make, then it's time to put your Procrastination Buddy on a leash.

"Just Do It" may be a great marketing slogan, but in real life we often need a little bit more to work with. To conquer Procrastination, you will need to change behavior that works against you achieving desired results. Remember that you are changing a habit, and it will feel uncomfortable and unnatural at first. But with practice, you can teach Procrastination that it is not welcome in your life. Here are three ways to do this.
