Getting started

There once was an awful prig
who wanted a musical gig,
but he never left his bed
till his mother sternly said
“Get out, you lazy pig!”

It is against the flow of nature to do anything from a state of inertia. If you do overcome that inertia however, it becomes a lot easier to gather momentum. So the question is, what is that first step you need to take to give you just a little bit of momentum to get going?

The 5 Second Rule

There once was a guru named Mick
who spoke of a simple trick
if you get off your ass and do
what you simply know to be true
you’ll change your life real quick!

Apparently, if you don’t link your idea to some form of action within 5 seconds, in all likelihood, the idea will die. Judging by the current state of the world, it appears mostly stupid people have empowered themselves with this 5 second rule.

Making decisions

There once was a man in doubt
over all he could be in doubt about
until one day he met
his ultimate regret
and ended his decision-making drought!

Both decisions and indecision have consequences. It is often not until you know what you really want, or a decision is made for you, that you realise that procrastination has cost you dearly.
