I’ve been reading a good book lately, and I wanted to share this excerpt that really resonated with me.
From Get More Done in Less Time by Donna Otto:
Do you know what really makes you tired? The things you don’t do, not the things you do!
Procrastination–worrying about the things you need to get done, putting them off because you dread them or because you would rather be doing something else–makes you tired, not work.
Your body feels tired, just from the strain of knowing there are so many things you should do that you never will get to.
Otto then recommends applying what she calls the “first and fast” rule to your daily tasks. Do the things you dislike or dread FIRST and get them over with quickly!
Revolutionary, right?
