Fierce Tip of the Week: Commit to Action

This week’s Fierce tip is inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote: “Never put off tomorrow, what can be done today.”

This week commit to taking action on items right now that you would normally put off to another time. Rid yourself of procrastinating habits and seize each opportunity to accomplish your tasks as they come up.

Do not be mistaken, this is difficult. It requires you to be disciplined and not let your mind justify why you can just put it off until tomorrow.  To help the process, write down your top 5 to-dos for the day and commit to accomplishing those before you leave the office or go to bed for the night.

Of course, this week’s tip doesn’t have to just apply to your to-do list. Is there a conversation you’ve been putting off? A relationship you’ve been ignoring?

If so, stop. Commit to changing that this week! Have the conversation and engage.

Avoid carrying around the excess baggage that comes from knowing you should do something that you haven’t.
