		<description>Do you put off until tomorrow what you can &amp;#8211; and should &amp;#8211; do today?
Do you tell lies to yourself such as I work best under pressure?
Do you actively look for distractions from the task at hand?
If your answer to the above questions is yes, it&amp;#8217;s likely you&amp;#8217;re a procrastinator.

		<description>Are you a proud multi-tasker?
If your answer to that question is &amp;#8220;yes,&amp;#8221; the power of focus is probably eluding you.
To focus means to concentrate attention or energy on something.
Focus requires discipline.  Focus doesn’t happen by chance.

These starfish were huge: anywhere [...]&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thegoaldiva/~4/KaQ19iH1dL8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
