101. Just do it

How many times do we say “I’ll just do it later”?

And sometimes that later becomes never and we end up with a list of loose ends that somehow need to get done. 

If a task takes 5 minutes or less, just do it. 

Dishes

Throwing a load of landry in 

Letting the dog out

Doing a task for someone 

brainstorming 

If a task takes more than 5 minutes, put it on our list to get done and schedule time to do it 

Taking action on a goal 

Developing plans 

The point is: some things are better to get done right away, to clear up that mental space, and other tasks need more time – but to make sure we get them done let’s be sure to schedule them in. 

And then get it done.
