Enabling Procrastinators, Since 2004

Why do we procrastinate? There's lots of reasons… Maybe I'll answer that later. Today I want to talk about, what I like to refer to as, "Procrastinator's Regret".

Procrastinator's Regret occurs when the procrastinator (Note - I did not say 'you'…) puts something off BEYOND the reasonable time window for getting something done. The procrastinator knows a cutoff date is approaching, and starts to stress over it. And then they decide that it's too late to act, leading to procrastinator's regret.  

Case in point: this Friday, March 5, 2021, is Employee Appreciation Day. I'll bet there are some people (I did not say 'you'…) that thought it would be a good idea to do something nice for Employee Appreciation Day, but...um…haven't.

I talk to procrastinators the most during the winter holidays. People call me on December 23, often surprised that I am even in my office. The conversation usually starts out with a confession veiled in an apology: "I know I shouldn't have waited so long…but… "

Me: "Don't worry, it only takes about a half hour to fully set up a CorpNote account and to send your messages. Yes, you can do that now, and we're here to help you." Wash, rinse, repeat: enabling procrastinators, year-after-year.

Well, here we are, only four three days away from Employee Appreciation Day. My message is the same – you still have time! (Yes, I did say 'you'!) And here we go again, I'm enabling your procrastinating ways!
Think sending Employee Appreciation eCards is hard? Think again. It only takes 5 minutes. This video will show you how:

P.S. Do yourself a favor… While you're in your account, create an Employee Appreciation Day message for 2022. You can schedule it now, and avoid that procrastinator's regret for good! (We're here to help you.)
