Brain Food #665

It's probably not important enough

Thoughts of the day

A short thought for today (and in the spirit of unfinished work) about what we choose to postpone. Taking some time to think about what we are constantly putting off can reveal our true priorities to us, or maybe our true fears.

Consider what you have ‘meant to do’ for days, weeks, months. Why has it not happened yet? Is it just too hard, or just never a priority? If you have postponed something for too long, consider taking it off your list. It’s probably not important enough.

“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”

— Pablo Picasso
