You aren’t the only person who puts things off for another day. Delaying chores for good reasons or bad is common. However, most people fail to realize how mortgaging their time today will impact their tomorrow.
Some people delay their chores to pursue something more pleasurable. Others delay their tasks to help a friend in need. When you continuously stack tomorrow with things that could be done today, you are mortgaging your time. The cost of that mortgage isn’t known until sometime in the future, making it easy to put things off.
My Grandma always said her chore list was large, but by doing a little bit each day, it is manageable. You can’t boil the ocean at once, but you can eat an elephant one bite at a time. Go ahead and do a chore or two today so that your tomorrow will be a bit easier.
