It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.”

I have a Word document where I write down ideas for projects I would like to do someday.
It is called “Undated Projects.”
The problem with this list is that I rarely do the things on it. It is not that I really don’t want to do them.
There is a book I want to write. There is some research I want to do. There is a project I would like to build.
But I never seem to get around to doing them.
The reason is fairly simple. They are “Undated Projects.” They have no deadline, no sense of urgency in a day filled with things that have to be finished today.
So, they are never started.
And, unless something changes, they will never be finished.
Look at your list of what you want to accomplish in your life. Put a date on it.
Start it. Finish it.
