We all have those small tasks we avoid—paperwork piling up, a cluttered office, or something simple that feels like a hassle. For me, those things build up in my mind and start to weigh on me. But when I finally take care of them, there’s always a sense of relief.
Research shows that unfinished tasks, or "open loops," take up mental space and increase stress. The more we avoid them, the more they quietly drain our energy. Tackling them right away frees up that mental clutter and makes life feel lighter.
Stop waiting. Do it now. It’s worth it.

So something I've been thinkinga lot about lately is adopting this sort of do it now mindset. Excuse me, I'm kind of, I think, like a lot of people, I have a
(00:12):
problem with procrastination,and I tend to put a lot of things off. And, you know, there's a I put off most things, you know, like I find myself
sort of working all day but, butI feel like if I were to focus on getting these specific tasks done faster, I would spend a lot less time kind of bouncing
(00:36):
around, and I'd be a lot moreproductive. And so I've been doing that for a little while now. So I kind of wanted to share you, share with you some
of the results that I'm seeingfrom this. And so over a brief overview of what I'm talking about is like, when you have a task that you generally put off,
to adopt the mindset of, like,I'm just going to get this done right now. I'm going to get it out of the way right now. And it's pretty simple. It's pretty
(01:03):
simple concept, but it's harderin to put it into practice, you know. So, you know, for me, I found that the more and I read this in a book, it was called
get things done if I'm notmistaken. And in this book, they talk about open loops. And so every task that you sort of put off, and everything that you
(01:26):
kind of like say, Okay, I'mgoing to get to that later, and you try to store it in your memory that, like, clogs up a lot of your brain power. And so
they call them open loops. Andhe talks about, you know, doing these kind of brain dumps, where you put all your open loops out on a piece of paper and and then
(01:47):
try to close as many loops aspossible as fast as you can, just to kind of get your brain to sort of cleared up. And so for me, there's a lot of tasks
that are, how can I put itthere? They're not even hard to do, and they don't take very long, but I just don't like doing them like one of the
examples is adding new employeesto payroll. It's not that big of a deal, you know, the the employee fills out the paperwork, and then I have to
(02:17):
take all the information fromthat paperwork and add it to the to the payroll system, and I feel this huge amount of resistance every time that
happens. And so I'll get thepaperwork, and I'm like, All right, I'll get this done, and then I'll just put it off until the very last minute. And so
(02:38):
this last this was, like, thefirst time, the last time I was adding some people to payroll was the first time that. Well, it wasn't the first time ever,
but it was the sort of the firsttime on this sort of run of really taking seriously the do it now sort of mentality. And so I was going to grab the
paperwork, and I had it in myhead. I'm like, All right, it's kind of early in the day. As long as I get it done, you know, by the end of the day, it'll be
(03:06):
fine. But as soon as I grabbedit, I'm like, fuck, man, why don't you just do it right now, just get it out of the way. And so I just walked right in and
added all this stuff and goteverything squared away. And felt like a huge amount of relief. And so, like, I tried to keep that momentum going. So I
started, kind of like attackingsome other tasks. Another example of this that I heard was from Jocko Willink on one of his podcasts. He was talking about
(03:34):
how in his his gym locker, hehad all this stuff in there. And there was no shelves in there, so, like, all the stuff was just sort of jammed in there. And so
every time he would go topractice Jiu Jitsu, you would have to take all these things out to get the things he needed, and then he would have to put it
all back in. And every time, soevery day, he would spend a few minutes kind of rifling through all of this shit. And he bought a shelf to put it in there, and
(04:06):
then that would kind of solveall the problems. But he still put that task off. And so he continued to spend several minutes every day, you know,
pulling all the shit out anddoing all these things and kind of working around the setup that he had, and then he finally said, you know, fuck this. I'm
gonna put the shelf in. And itonly took a few minutes to put the shelf in. And so the trade off, and the same thing with the paperwork, is, sort of the trade
(04:32):
off is like you're you'reputting in all of this extra time that you're wasting kind of getting around the thing that you're putting off when you
could just resolve the problemin a few minutes, and then you don't even have to think about it, or you don't have to deal with that shit at all anymore.
And so I think a lot of us havethis. I don't know this. I don't know if I would call it a problem. It's just something that is, you know, a lot of us
(04:57):
have deal with this. I would, Iwould assume. It and so things like the payroll paperwork, it just doesn't take that long. But the problem is, the day that
it's due, like the last day thatI have to get it in in order to get those team members pay, paid on time. Every time that happens, I'm kind of, like
(05:18):
dreading doing this task. So allday, I'm kind of dealing with that. It's not like plaguing me or anything, but it's in my head all day, and I'm like, Ah, man,
I don't want to do that. Youknow, I'll get to it later, and all this kind of shit. So it's occupying some space in my mind when I could just take it. I
mean, I don't even have to waittill the till the day that it's due. Like, I could literally, just as soon as the team member fills out the shit, I should
(05:45):
just put it in and be done withit. Have all the information in there, but I never do that. I'm gonna start doing it now. But like, that day was an example
where I was like, fuck I, Iplanned on putting this off, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna get it done. And so now my brain was free of that task. And so
another thing that I do is thepower list. And so if you're not familiar with the power list, I've talked about it, you can look up Andy for sell a power
(06:13):
list. I'll give you the verybrief Cliff Notes of it, but it's five critical tasks every day that move your life forward. And what Andy talks about is,
when you finish your list,you're free for the day. You won the day. So sometimes the list takes all day. Sometimes it takes 12 hours. Sometimes you
can get your whole list done ina few hours. And you can either maybe add to the list, which sometimes I do, or you can say, You know what, I've I've done
(06:39):
my, my thing for the day, andI'm gonna kind of relax or something. And so for me, I always dragged out all of my tasks throughout the whole day.
And so what that would end uplooking like is I would do the stuff that I hated the least first, get that stuff out of the way. So now everything else on
(07:04):
my list is shit that I don'twant to do that but I have to do in order to win the day. And so any time that's between that task getting done, that whole
time is occupied with that shitjust living in my mind, like, man, okay, I gotta do this. I gotta, I gotta send this email. Or, you know, whatever it is,
(07:27):
just sending a simple email isnot one of the tasks. They're like the critical tasks that move your life forward. So a lot of times it's like writing an
email newsletter, which, like, Ilike doing, but at the same time, when it comes down to doing it, I often don't really want to do it. You know, it's
kind of weird, but so what I'vebeen doing lately is I'm like, I can't do anything else. Obviously, if I have things on my calendar, meetings and stuff
(07:53):
like that, I can do thosethings, but everything else, I can't do anything else until I get my shit done. So one big thing that I've learned is,
like, I can get so much moredone in a day if I do things that way. Because what ends up happening on before I started doing it this way, I'd have all
(08:15):
my tasks. And, like I said, Iwould get the first, you know, the either the easy stuff or the stuff that I like doing. I'd get that out of the way first, and
then I'd put all the stuff offthat I dread till later. And so the time in between, I was still working, but I was just doing, like, little, weird, busy tasks
that probably weren't necessaryto do, you know? So like, I felt like I was putting in a big, long day. But the reality is, like, the core shit that I
(08:45):
really needed to do doesn'tdidn't take the entire day, and I learned this. I mean, I think I already kind of knew that, but I learned this really when I
started doing it this way, whenI'm like, All right, I just got to get this all done before I can do anything else. And so I would just most of the tasks I
do at my desk. So I would justbe at my desk, and I'm like, I'm not leaving until this shit is done. And I would get through my whole list, and it was only
(09:12):
like, 1230 in the afternoon orone o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm like, the fuck have I been doing with all of my time? If, like, this is a normal list,
and I actually added some extrashit to the list, you know, so, like, it's not even a normal list. Like, I kind of beefed it up a little bit, because I'm,
like, I'm gonna be going intolike, Deep Work Mode and get this shit done, and I'm still finishing, maybe 1230 as an exaggeration, but, you know, I'm
(09:39):
finishing when the fucking sunis still out, which is, like, not normal. You know, it's like 330 in the afternoon, and I'm like, What the fuck man? Like,
what have I been doing all thistime? Like, what? I haven't been spending my days nearly as productive as I as I should, because I'm not adopting this
mindset of, like, I'm just gonnafucking hammer through all this. Shit.
(10:01):
And so I don't know, it's just,I feel like I need to, I need to maintain this, and I think it's something that everybody could do. I know, if you have, like, a
nine to five then, you know, orwhatever that is, you know, certain things you have to get done. And that's just, you know, you got to work around that
stuff, and I totally understand.And so, like, on the weekends, I go into the shop and I work, I work in the shop. So those days are a little bit different, you
(10:29):
know, so I can get it that, youknow, there's things in the way, but like any of those tasks that you're putting off, if you have the time to get them done, and
you just knock them out, like itjust clears up so much space in your mind. And, you know, it just feels so much better, I mean, and I feel much more
(10:50):
productive. And everything thatI wanted I set out to do for the day is getting done. And I'm also really learning that I have a lot more capacity than I
initially thought. Because ifI'm just sort of like doing these tasks, kind of willy nilly, like whenever I feel like doing it, and then in between
those tasks, I'm doing all thesekind of, like busy work things that I could either hand off to somebody else, or maybe it's shit that people are already
(11:15):
taking care of, and I'm inthere, like, kind of checking customer support emails and stuff when it's not really something I need to do.
Obviously, as a business owner,I need to kind of have my hands and things and look at stuff. But a lot of times I'm doing those things when I don't need
to be doing them. They'realready handled. I'm just kind of like in there keeping myself busy, so to speak. And so I don't know this is a pretty
(11:44):
straightforward concept, so I'mnot going to just keep rambling about it, but I did want to close on something that I think is probably one of the most
important things. And for me, ifI have open loops that I know I have to get done that day, and let's say, let's say I'm just kind of procra Like, this
doesn't really happen veryoften, but let's say, for example, I was just going to procrastinate. And I'm like, I'm going to knock all my tasks out
(12:09):
later in the day, towards theend of the day, I'll just fucking hunker down and power through all of it. The problem with that is I don't really rest
during that time, like I haveall of these things that I know that need to get done, and I know I'm putting them off, and that's adding a lot of stress.
So like, the time that I havebefore the tasks, if I'm putting off the tasks, that's not very good time. I don't know. I don't know if I'm explaining this
(12:40):
well, but it's not time wellspent. It's not restful time. It's time my mind is still on all those tasks. So if you switch it and be like, I'm gonna
get all my shit done as youknow, as fast as possible, I don't. I'm not saying I rush through everything, but I'm just gonna, like, sit at my desk or
stand, I stand, whatever. It'sirrelevant, like I have a standing desk, but I'm gonna stand at my desk until my shits done, then when my shits done, I
(13:10):
still have that same amount ofhours free, but those are way better hours, because I'm not thinking about those tasks anymore. They're all done, and I
feel good because I gotta winfor the day, and it's still light out, you know. And so sometimes I can add a couple more things out, or maybe I'll,
I'll do a few more tasks, youknow, because I have time, or I'm like, you know, I could use a little bit of rest. And I don't really take days off,
(13:36):
like, I actually don't take anydays off at all. So I could work every day, but I'm trying to make it so that I don't work like full days every day,
because I do understand there issome benefit to resting. So I guess that's it. To recap, I would just like to say adopting the do it now, mindset, or, you
(13:59):
know, I don't know. I guess mymindset is kind of an overused word, but adopting that kind of way of living, I don't know, I have a ways to go to where I'm
like, really, like, I could sayI'm that kind of person. I'm just now really starting to take it very seriously. And I find my stress levels are quite a bit
(14:24):
lower on the on the days that Iactually pull that off. So it's definitely worth looking into. If you have things you're procrastinating or, you know,
certain kind of tasks that youdread, but you know, they're not going to take very long. You just have to just get it done like you're gonna sit there
stressing about a task forhours, days, weeks, and then when you do the task, I think everybody's experienced this, when you do the task and you're
(14:51):
like, fuck, that didn't eventake that long, but it's occupied my mind for all this time. I could have just got it done and not had to have that
shit in my. Mind this wholetime. So I wish, I wish I started doing this a lot younger. I'm 51 you know, I think I would have accomplished
a lot more had I've done this,but sooner, but either way, you know better, better late than never, and maybe this is the time when I needed it the most.
(15:16):
So here we go.
S all right, appreciate each andevery one of you guys who are supporting the cause and continue to spread the love and yeah, stay up.
So something I've been thinkinga lot about lately is adopting this sort of do it now mindset. Excuse me, I'm kind of, I think, like a lot of people, I have a

still have that same amount ofhours free, but those are way better hours, because I'm not thinking about those tasks anymore. They're all done, and I
feel good because I gotta winfor the day, and it's still light out, you know. And so sometimes I can add a couple more things out, or maybe I'll,
I'll do a few more tasks, youknow, because I have time, or I'm like, you know, I could use a little bit of rest. And I don't really take days off,
(13:36):
like, I actually don't take anydays off at all. So I could work every day, but I'm trying to make it so that I don't work like full days every day,
because I do understand there issome benefit to resting. So I guess that's it. To recap, I would just like to say adopting the do it now, mindset, or, you
(13:59):
know, I don't know. I guess mymindset is kind of an overused word, but adopting that kind of way of living, I don't know, I have a ways to go to where I'm
like, really, like, I could sayI'm that kind of person. I'm just now really starting to take it very seriously. And I find my stress levels are quite a bit
(14:24):
lower on the on the days that Iactually pull that off. So it's definitely worth looking into. If you have things you're procrastinating or, you know,
certain kind of tasks that youdread, but you know, they're not going to take very long. You just have to just get it done like you're gonna sit there
stressing about a task forhours, days, weeks, and then when you do the task, I think everybody's experienced this, when you do the task and you're
(14:51):
like, fuck, that didn't eventake that long, but it's occupied my mind for all this time. I could have just got it done and not had to have that
shit in my. Mind this wholetime. So I wish, I wish I started doing this a lot younger. I'm 51 you know, I think I would have accomplished
a lot more had I've done this,but sooner, but either way, you know better, better late than never, and maybe this is the time when I needed it the most.
(15:16):
So here we go.
S all right, appreciate each andevery one of you guys who are supporting the cause and continue to spread the love and yeah, stay up.
