The diet begins after the snacks are gone. The morning routine that kicks in next Monday, right after the new pillow shows up. I had a conversation yesterday with a friend at a coffee bar that captured what I call goal-setting procrastination. It's an Olympic-level event most of us don't realize we're competing in every week. If you've ever planned to plan a plan, this one's for you. The fix is simpler than you think, and you can use it before the cookies run out. Featured Story I was standing at the coffee bar, grabbing my fourth store-bought cookie, when a friend walked up. He was fired up. He had a plan. Tomorrow, he told me, he'd make a decision. Then over the weekend, he'd spend some time setting a goal. He'd begin that goal on Monday so that by September, his whole life would look different. I almost choked on my cookie. That's six goals stacked inside one sentence — the ultimate goal procrastination dressed up as ambition. I finally turned to him and asked one simple question. His answer was honest, and it was something he could have started right there in front of me. Important Points The moment you find an idea that could change your life today, the rules of physics demand you start before Sunday. Your modern to-do list isn't really a list anymore — it's an exterminator project waiting for you to admit defeat. Goal procrastination loves to hide inside a sentence — plan to plan a plan, then plan to decide what you'll decide.
