Sometimes it is eve the most trivial things you leave for "later", absolutely stupid things that take you 10 min max but that seem utterly impossible to engage in. Take ironing, how long does it take to iron 3 shirts? 8 min. How long does it take to actually start ironing? days.

But when someone says to me, do something by some date. I already know where it stands in my list of priorities, and I can tell it isnt getting done til a month or so afterwards. Which is, as ichi said, liberating.
