Procrastination has been called the thief of time, opportunity's assassin, and the grave in which dreams
are buried.

Retake control of
your life by overcoming procrastination.
Here's how . . .

Imagine finishing your novel, getting back to your fighting weight, getting your product out there and creating a passive source of income, and taking back control of your life!

I'm Marelisa Fabrega, author of "Make It Happen!" and owner of the popular blog, Daring to Live Fully. I used to be a procrastinator. I'd leave everything to the last minute, I was constantly late, and I always had an excuse for not getting started on my goals. When I realized the harm that procrastinating was doing to my life, I decided to find a way to overcome procrastination once and for all.

I started reading everything I could about procrastination, experimenting with what I read, and making adjustments, until I discovered a process for beating procrastination. Now, every time that there's a new goal that I want to pursue, I simply apply the process and get to work on my goal. That's how I came to write "Make It Happen!"

Since overcoming procrastination, here are some of the things that I've done:

Create several eBooks which are great sources of passive income.
I'm a runner and regularly participate in 10Ks.
I'm a weight lifter
I taught myself to draw.
I meditate daily, as well as practice Qigong and Tai chi.
I'm an avid reader -- right now I'm tackling Shakespeare.
I'm constantly upgrading my skills so I can become a better blogger, reach a wider audience, and increase my blogging income.
I've taken up French (my fourth language).
I constantly give myself challenges, such as a challenge to raise my IQ, trying something new every day for 30 days, a 30-day declutter challenge, and a flat-abs in 30 days challenge.
I volunteer at a center that helps victims of domestic violence, offering legal and business advice.

As you can see, overcoming procrastination has allowed me to flourish, and it can do so for you, as well. What important task or project have you been procrastinating on? Whether it's starting a blog, going back to school, applying for a grant, decluttering your home, or training for a marathon, "Make It Happen!", will help you get started and see the task or project through to completion.

Rest assured, there's no such thing as a procrastination gene. Procrastinating is a learned behavior and, just as you learned it, you can unlearn it. Whoever you are, or whatever your life situation is at the moment, this workbook is going to help you drop the procrastination habit, and replace it with the habit of taking action.

When you stop procrastinating you'll be gaining back hours of lost time and putting them to good use.

If you're like most people, you've probably asked yourself the following: "How can I find more time?" The answer, of course, is that there are 168 hours in a week, and there's absolutely nothing that you can do to increase that amount of time. What you can do is make better use of the time that you have, and "Make It Happen!" will show you how.

"We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them." Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I am a full-time author, writing nonfiction books for Storey Publishing and BowTie Press as well as articles for small-scale farming magazines. My first magazine articles were published in 1969. At first I enjoyed my work but over the years I became a horrible procrastinator, putting things off for far too long and then fussing and worrying as deadlines approached, often to the point of making myself sick. Naturally, when I discovered Marelisa's blog and "Make it Happen!", I knew I had to have her book. I love Marelisa's easy writing style, her eye-opening exercises, and the way she presents so many valuable approaches to problems, in my case the Pomodoro Technique for procrastination, which has totally revolutionized my workdays. Now I'm getting things done on time, without hassle, and truly enjoying writing for the first time in years. Oh happy day! If you put things off, believe me, you need this book. There is nothing else like it on the market. Marelisa will put you back on track-guaranteed!. Sue Weaver
