The Task You've Been Putting Off Forever

You have a task that is not getting done.

In fact, it’s been on your to do list for a long time.

Days, months, …even years.

What is your forever task that’s not getting done?

The Task That Never Ever Gets Done

There is a task that has been on your list forever.

You probably don’t even recall when it was first added.

You have been avoiding it, ignoring it, and forever putting it off.

But, there it sits. Continually haunting your todo list.

At some point, it will catch up with you. Or in the case of some goals, you might run out of time to ever do it.

Yet, there it sits.

In plain sight on your todo list. Or maybe hiding out on your Someday-Maybe list.

Are you ever going to do it?

Here are a few reasons why you aren’t getting your forever task done:

Putting It Off – Someday doesn’t get those tasks done. Set a hard deadline to get those “put off” tasks done.
Don’t Want to Do It - You may be avoiding the task because you find it unpleasant or even boring. That’s not a valid excuse. You will have to do many things in life that you don’twant to do.
Forgot About It – If you are forever forgetting a task, then you need to make it visible. Get it on your list. Put it where you can’t miss it. As well, don’t let it hide out on your “Someday” list.
Ignoring the Consequences – Undone tasks create more work for you. As well, there are always consequences. The costs can be time, money, or missed opportunities.

You don’t have to take on all of your “forever” tasks at once.

However, pick one and make plans (or an appointment) to get it done.

Someday isn’t a due date.

Do those forever tasks today.
