’ll start tomorrow.” Three words that are the death knell for
I goals. Because how many times have you said “tomorrow”
when what you really meant was “never”? I know, as the words
tumble from your mouth you believe them: “I’ll start a diet
tomorrow.” You feel strong, resolved, and 100 percent commit-
ted to your goal. It seems as if nothing can come between you
and the promise of tomorrow. A tomorrow that really will be
the first day of the rest of your life.
But then tomorrow actually comes. And once again, we
face that same decision: start right now or postpone starting
for one more day. C’mon, it’s just one day, right? Seriously, how
bad is it really going to be to postpone for one more day? The
answer, of course, is that postponing for one day probably isn’t
the worst thing ever—except that one day is never one day.
