How to Procrastinate For Success
If you’re a habitual procrastinator, that’s fine. Because it’s important for running a small business successfully.

- Taking breaks and having fun helps to avoid burnout, which is far more costly than any procrastination.
- Instead of trying to do everything, focus on the 1-2 most important things that will drive your business forward.
