If Not Now, Then When?
——————————————
I was reading this article called “20 minutes to a clean home” or something like that a few days ago. It was from MarthaStewart.com (yeah, yeah) and it occurred to me that there was actually a good point behind it.

One of the tricks I use to get a lot of stuff done is a little saying: “If not now, then when?” There are always tons of little things I need to do, like picking up the newspaper, washing the dishes, doing my weekly budget, etc. And when they’re all on my mind, I tend to do none of them. A lot of the time, I just don’t feel like it.

That’s when I ask myself that question. If the answer is, “I’ll do it later because I’m running late for a meeting,” then that’s a pretty good reason. But if the answer is, “I just don’t feel like it,” chances are I won’t feel like it later, either. So all things being equal, I’d rather finish them now. If not now, then when?

If you can think of examples of this (answering emails taking out the trash, etc), let me know by replying to this newsletter and I’ll post them in an upcoming article.

I don’t know what this means, but recently I have been running into a lot of crazy people who apparently read my blog and they all say the same thing: “YOU HAVEN’T SENT A NEWSLETTER OUT IN A LONG TIME!!!!” Last weekend in SF, a girl came up to me at a club saying exactly this. So if you are reading this, crazy girl, here you go.

Also, I’ll try to send these out more than once every 4 months, heh.

What’s coming next

I’m going to be working on the 2006 financial makeover series because 2895235 people have been screaming at me to finish it. I’ve also been working on some cool stuff behind the scenes, including email notifications (if you want to be emailed when I post something new, stay tuned to the site), a new way of making my point using pictures (stay tuned), and more speaking gigs. I have 17 new articles on personal entrepreneurship slated to go live as soon as I write them, too.
