It’s funny how we push the little jobs aside until we absolutely HAVE to do them. Like putting fuel in our cars, I am one who waits until the fuel light comes on before I go get fuel, not a good habit I know.
Think about how much we let slide and put off because we think its an inconvenience at the time, but when we actually make a start or get something done we realise how easy it actually was and why didn’t we just do that sooner. Even better when you realise that by doing that one little thing it fixed something else or made something even easier.
Learning from this I have made a commitment to “Just get it done!” - Don’t contemplate, don’t hesitate, just get it done, because honestly, and I know this is true for me, it’s just another thing you think about when you are trying to go to sleep or it’s consistently on your mind until it is done because you are just trying to remember it.
Now if you are thinking “I just don’t have the time to get something done right then” well do this, delegate and/or schedule to it get done. Personally I schedule it in, either by setting a reminder, putting it in my calendar or adding it into my daily run sheet to get it done, sometimes I do all three. There is not point putting it on a to-do list with the hundred other things you have to do; its only going to sit there until you look at the list again.
So take a moment to work through your to-do list and de clutter your mind of all the small things you should’ve done so long ago and start fresh be getting things done sooner.
Till next post…
