Panic. Long-term panic.

Seriously.

Think about how much you're hurting yourself by not doing the little things to make yourself suceed, and how all the folks that you're going to be competing against are doing those little things. And how many of those folks have more talent at it than you do. And how many others are just plain old luckier than you are. And how your only hope to ever have even the smallest success in your chosen field is going to take all of your meager talent, as much hard work as you can possibly put in and every ounce of luck you can scrape together. If you can't imagine **that guy over there** doing the things that you can't be bothered to do and then surpassing you at crunch time and getting the gig, then you have a problem. If the idea doesn't send cold shivers down your spine, give up now and pick something that any schuck with eyebrows can do, like demolition or truck driving.
