I’ll do it later

One day, it comes to an end.

One day, we realise that we have no more chances.

One day, we know that there will not be a tomorrow.

Is today that one day?

Most of us do not know.

So what if this was the last day?

What would you regret not starting?

What would you regret not saying?

Now is our life, not yesterday, not tomorrow. Now is the only moment that we can alter, now is the only moment we can start something, do something, say something.

Our lives are made up of continuous ‘now’ moments, each one a unique moment in time that we can do anything we choose. Or, do nothing.

It is entirely of our own making, every moment of every day for a lifetime. Strung together, it forms what happens in our journey, but they pass immediately into the past never to come back.

The future never happens, as it is that, the future and there are no guarantees for anyone. The future is shaped by what we do now.

10 minutes ago, 1 hour ago, 1 week ago, your entire life to this point, you can not alter, it’s gone.

We can not do everything we want in the ‘now’ moment, we can only do a single thing, but each bit of procrastination, each moment we allow ourselves to say ‘I’ll do it later’ is a ‘now’ moment in our life gone forever.

Later never comes, do whatever you can do, now.

If you had just one day



Prioritising what thing to do first is always a challenge.

But what if you had just more day before a long holiday?

What would you do first?

Would you tidy up all the icons on your desktop? Would you clear up your bookshelf in the office? Would you straighten up a picture on the wall? Would you change the font on your website? Or would you do something that propelled you closer to your goals? Something that led to a new customer signup? and so on.

Ok, so a little loaded.

But, the point is, the more time and options we give ourselves, the more likely we will seek refuge in the easy and not so important tasks to feel busy.

If it is important it will be challenging and it will create some fear of starting it.

Those are the things that we could choose to start first every day.

It is a choice and choosing it leads to change, and it becomes an addictive habit once we realise we are getting closer and closer to our goals and seeing better results.

Shorten the time horizons whenever you can, lessen the options to choose from and get more done.
