Do the Thing You’ve Been Putting Off
I like to close as many things as I can on Fridays. It has become part of how I end my work week.
That doesn't mean finishing everything. That is not going to happen. Business is always in motion and there will always be more to do.
Unfinished work is different from work I am avoiding.
I usually have good reasons for putting something off. The problem is that tomorrow can become next week, and sometimes the week after that.
Putting something off doesn't put it out of my mind. I still think about it, and sometimes I spend more energy avoiding something than it would have taken to finish it.
I started this week with: Do the one thing that changes the week.
I'm ending it with: Do the thing you've been putting off.
I know what mine is.
Once it's done, I'm closing my week and heading into a weekend celebrating my nephew's graduation and apple picking.
