A recent experience helped me see the value in “Do it now!” I had a package I needed to mail since July. Nothing urgent obviously, so I kept moving it to the bottom of my “to do” list. As I looked at my list and package, I would think, “I really should mail that.”
When I got an email saying postal rates would increase for the holiday season, it reminded me that I should mail it before October, but still it sat on my desk. During our webinar on Sunday, when we were prompted to write down another service on our index card, I wrote, “Mail the package.”
I knew it would get done because “I always keep my promises!” That night, I printed the mailing label and got everything ready to take to the post office.
I noticed an extra fee on the receipt for the holiday surcharge. It wasn’t a lot of extra money, but if I had done it sooner, I would have paid the regular rate. Now, I feel relieved that the package is on its way to its destination and off my desk!
So, if you have something simple on your to do list, I encourage you to, “DO IT NOW!” because it could save you money and give you peace of mind!
the DO IT NOW mantra is one of my favourites – after chanting it outloud with FEELING (only if one of my cats wakes up to look at me like I’m crazy, do I know I’m intense enough), I feel more powerful….like I can accomplish anything.
I bet you felt great getting that task complete. 🙂
I find myself guilty of the same thing. Especially when it comes back to bite you. Well written.
Thank you, “do it now” is such a powerful command to self that can really get us going. Procrastination be gone!! 🙏😁
This post is a good reminder for me to do it now. The small tasks really matter. It makes you feel good that you were able to complete the task. Good post.
Great Job Brittany and I am sure you enjoy that extra space on your desk 🙂
OMG, I love this… what a great example we can all relate to! I have a similar task I’ve been puting off for YEARS and it is getting done this week! Thanks for sharing
Brittany, you make your Blog Rover pa pa proud. Being one of the first to get in your week #6 says volumes about “DO IT NOW,” and says it quite loud! 🙂
That’s terrific, Allan. What a testimony to success with just a little more than a month of doing that! Thanks for sharing.
Mantra
DO IT NOW…DO IT NOW
I am so proud of you. Honest Post
I understand Brittany, thank you for sharing.
Hi Brittany. That “do it now” and the card process is powerful isn’t it? I now put all my actions on my service card each day so that I complete them. Never been so productive 🙂
What a great share, Brittany, so well written. That DO IT NOW really gets deep inside, doesn’t it?
