Want to know why you’re having a hard time achieving your New Year’s goals? Watch this…

There's two different types of procrastination when we set goals. The first are goals with real deadlines. That's April 15th. Everybody knows what that one is. It's a real deadline or when a term paper is due. These are things that will get done. Now the other type of goals are those goals that don't have a hard and fast deadline. Like going to the gym. You don't have to do it. Doesn't have a hard and fast deadline. Or does it? Spending time with a loved one, writing the book you've always wanted to write, your bucket list. These goals and their lack of a hard and fast deadline can be deadly, literally. Goals without apparent deadlines are the ones you don't take seriously enough, even though they may in fact be the most important of all. So those without an apparent deadline usually won't get done without some type of external force pushing you to get it done. By the way, there is a deadline for these. That's why I say apparent deadlines. But there usually is an actual deadline. You just don't know when it will be. But when it comes, it's usually very painful and it's usually too late.
