Executive Retail Recruitment 
If you procrastinate, even your thoughts stagnate. What’s that got to do with Tetris?
So there I was with a gigantic to do list full of those time consuming and boring tasks that weren’t urgent but needed to be done at some point. They were just kind of hanging around waiting until I got to them. I wasn’t in any hurry – until…
I awoke one morning only too aware that I had the same boring list of tasks running around in my head as I had the day before, and the day before that. (you get the picture)
It was then that I realized, that not only is procrastinating boring, it actually resembles a bad game of Tetris.
Your opportunities, ideas and things to do are the colorful blocks that move from the top of the screen to the bottom. If you don’t work to fill the gaps and complete the lines, before you know it, nothing moves anywhere things stagnate, the screen fills up, you earn no points and the game is over!
If on the other hand, you fill the gaps and complete the lines, they move off the screen, and you get points! New, cool shapes appear, things look different and there are new opportunities to beat your high score.
