Don't Overestimate the Size of the Job

Tip #1 on hard work:

Don't overestimate the size of a task as an excuse to put it off.

This morning I had 45 open minutes. Rather than spend it reading (my usual way to burn off extra minutes), I chose an important task on my list and applied myself to it. It meant I had to change clothes and shower faster than I usually do, but I got closer to finishing our bookshelves.

The Challenge: Fit something unusual into my schedule that I would have put off, such as fixing something in the house before I leave for work or making an overdue phone call before dinner.
