The first minute
Are you way too busy to get something done? Then go ahead and
do it as soon as you can.
Waiting until the last minute never makes the task any
easier, and it always makes the work more stressful. Going
ahead and doing it at the first minute, as soon as you know
it must be done, can save you an enormous amount of time and
energy.
Because when you go ahead and do what must be done, you
don't have to waste a lot of time worrying about it and
wondering how you will ever find the time. Putting something
off in order to save time really ends up costing much more
time.
So the next time you're tempted to wait until the last
minute because of time pressures, think of what you would be
doing. You would, in fact, be making things worse.
Instead of putting something off until the last minute, put
it on your schedule the very first minute possible. Then go
ahead and get it done.
The time you save will enable you to get much more done. The
peace of mind you gain will be priceless.
