The Cure for Procrastination Have you ever noticed that the longer you look at something you should be doing, the more difficult it seems to appear? That the longer you put off something you should do, the more difficult it is to get started? A good deal of frustration and unhappiness could be avoided if people would just do what they know they should do. The great newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane once wrote, “Don't exaggerate your own importance, your own size, or your own miseries. You are an ant in a human anthill. Be a working ant - not a ridiculous insect pitying yourself.” Strong language, maybe, but there's a lot of sense in it. A person carrying a heavy weight is all right as long as he keeps moving. The minute he stops, puts the weight on the ground, and sits down to rest, the weight seems to become heavier; the distance to be traveled, greater; and the work, just that much more unpleasant.

Have you ever noticed that the longer you look at something
you should be doing, the more difficult it seems to appear?
That the longer you put off something you should do, the
more difficult it is to get started?
A good deal of frustration and unhappiness could be
avoided if people would just do what they know they should
do.
The great newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane once wrote,
“Don't exaggerate your own importance, your own size, or
your own miseries. You are an ant in a human anthill. Be a
working ant - not a ridiculous insect pitying yourself.”
Strong language, maybe, but there's a lot of sense in it.
A person carrying a heavy weight is all right as long as he
keeps moving. The minute he stops, puts the weight on the
ground, and sits down to rest, the weight seems to become
heavier; the distance to be traveled, greater; and the work,
just that much more unpleasant.
Sometimes it must seem to everyone that things have piled
up so high that there's just no way of digging out. But there
is. Pick the thing that's most important to do, and simply
begin doing it. Just by digging in, you'll feel better, and
you'll find that it's not nearly as bad as you thought it would

be. Keep at it, and before long, that pile of things to do that
seemed so overwhelming is behind you - finished.
What overwhelms us is not the work itself. It's thinking how
hard it's going to be. It's seeing it get larger every day. It's
putting if off and hoping that somehow, through some
miracle, it will disappear.
The Chinese have a saying that a journey of a thousand
miles begins with but a single step. And that step
accomplishes two things. First, it automatically shortens the
distance we still have to travel, and, second, and just as
important, it makes us feel better, more hopeful - it
strengthens our faith. If a person will just keep putting one
foot in front of the other, he will be taken into new and
exciting places, see new and interesting things, and think
thoughts that never would have come to him if he'd
remained at the starting point. Then the journey is finished.
He wonders how or why he could ever have sat so long and
worried and stewed about the time and trouble it would
involve to do what he knew he should do.
If you'll think back, you'll remember that you've always
been happiest, most contented, after having finished a

difficult project or faced up to a responsibility you were
worried about. It's never as bad as you think it's going to be,
and the joy that will come with its accomplishment makes it
more than worthwhile.
Work never killed anyone. It's worry that does the
damage. And the worry would disappear if we'd just settle
down and do the work.
As Calvin Coolidge put it, “All growth depends upon
activity. There is no development physically or
intellectually without effort, and effort means work. Work
is not a curse; it is the prerogative of intelligence, the only
means to manhood, and the measure of civilization.”
