Are you just two weeks away from your next milestone?

I believe you are / Issue 1,442

Oh, hi friends! 

I was talking with a friend the other day about a project she's been working on for a while. 

(We all have these projects.)

She has one recurring thought. 

The thought is: I should probably finish this.

(We all have these thoughts.)

But she doesn't have anyone asking for this project. And she doesn't have a deadline. And other things feel more urgent.

(We all have those distractions.)

And so I got all hyped up and said, OK, let's pretend someone asks you for this project.

And the opportunity is so good that it lights a fire under your tail.

The delivery date is as soon as possible.

I said, "How much time would it actually take you to finish this?"

She thought about it for a second.

"Probably…two weeks."

Two weeks. Two weeks!

Resting time / source

We all have projects that are important to us, but the problem is they’re just slightly less important than other parts of our lives.

Unless we shake things up.

Two weeks? Two weeks is doable. 

For her. And for you.

When you're that close to the next stage, you owe it to yourself to move forward.

(I write this advice because I need this advice.)

It starts by being honest with yourself:

How much time would it actually take me to finish this?

And there is your timeline. 

There is where you begin.

This is Part One.
