The Discipline of Now, you will receive a proven blueprint to beat procrastination, so that you
make more money, get more done, and feel more confident. My most common question:
"What simple step can I take to overcome procrastination?" Answer: Implement what I refer to as
"The Twiggs Top 5" Here's how it works: Get a 3x5 card and write down your 5 critical tasks for
the following day. As you complete each task that day, place a check mark beside it. . This habit
will build confidence and momentum. You will be less likely to procrastinate on the tasks you
write down!
Encouraging word: Don't allow "perfect" to become the enemy of progress. Focus on taking the
next small step that can move you in the direction of your goal.
