Another billion dollar question that I love is: why not tomorrow?
Acting with urgency is a super underrated trait.
If you’re leaning towards a decision, but still feel unsure, ask yourself: why not tomorrow?
List down the reasons. If those were to be resolved, then you should be doing it tomorrow, right?
Okay, then turn every reason listed into a task.
Then answer this: how long would it take to figure it out? For each reason/task.
Now you have:
- Your answer to why not tomorrow
- Your list of tasks to work on
- Your closest estimated timeline instead of “tomorrow”
If you’re intentional about making it happen, then do it fast.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing fast.
Speed and urgency are not excuses for not doing something well.
You can still ensure you’re doing something well, but with urgency.
Perfectionism often creeps in. Doubts and fears also slow us down.
So if you equip yourself with the weapon of urgency..
If you don’t take “tomorrow” for granted..
If you don’t assume you’re going to live a thousand years..
then you would get more things done, and live more lives in one lifetime.
Another way to put this is something I’ve heard from Peter Theil: “What are your 10 year goals? How can you do them in 6 months?”
So, why not tomorrow?
