What is a phrase that describes waking up mentally or a mental wake up call?
You say,
I know, I know. I need to do this, that and the other, so I had better _________
to achieve your goals, but instead you remain in your comfort zone … Wake Up!
"Wake up!" I think is overused and antiquated. I am looking for a fresh phrase that means something like to stop procrastinating.
