233: Don't Put It Off

Enjoy Life Podcast w/ Nick Maizy: Live Your Best Life

Major announcement. I loved creating this podcast for you. It has been my passion for the last 6 years. Thank you for joining in, listening, and many of you taking part by reaching out to me, subscribing, and following on social. My focus has always been to help people make positive changes, create the future they want, and live their best lives. That hasn’t changed at all. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been thinking about how I can make a greater impact. I’m going to focus my time and attention on sharing how people can create their future and live their best lives in a more direct way.

What does that mean? I will take a hiatus from the podcast. And am planning on returning Jan of 2023. Old episodes will still be available. Download any ‌you want to keep access to. Subscribe because I may come back with some powerful lessons to share with you. And connect with me on Twitter. I am sharing a lot more there. And I’ll be sharing simple things you can do to live your best life and you can connect with me there directly to talk about possible next steps that may be fit for you and your life to make it what you want.

I hope to hear from there.

And on to today’s episode.

Make the most of your time. This is just like the major reason I'm making a shift in how I share my message. I have to make the most of the limited time I have. The same I believe should be true for you. Make the most of your time.

Time is short. But, you have enough time to focus on your priorities.

It's never as long as it may seem at the moment. Still, you always have enough time to focus on your most important priority. As long as you give your best.

One of my mentors said something that stuck with me.

Laziness creates busyness.

If you approach life as though you simply have plenty of time, you may end up putting off doing what you should do now. You can call that procrastination. Procrastination is simply putting off doing what you know you should do to make the progress you want in an area. Maybe you don’t feel like doing the work. Or, it’s not as comfortable as doing something else.

When you put off what you know you really need to do, it doesn’t get done. Later on down the road, you’ll have a scramble to catch up. That’s where Laziness creates busyness.

Original message on this episode was going to be “Watch out! You only have 13.” One of my mentors shared about only having 13 summers with his kids and how he needed to cherish and make the most of them.

You need to take action. What is it you want? What kind of life do you want to live?

Take action toward it today. What can you do now?

You have enough time to focus on your priorities. But, really focus on them and do what needs to be done. Otherwise, time will pass and you’ll end up having to scramble trying to catch up and it just may be too late.
