Til It’s Done

Struggling to get to the finish line on task X? Commit to yourself that you’re going to work on task X and nothing else until it’s done.

Obviously, if you need to take care of yourself or others, that can still take priority. But everything else within your control takes a back seat for the time being.

Write down your commitment to finish in your Project Quartz journal, then get to work, and don’t stop til it’s done.

If/when desired, reflect on how this tool works for you (or doesn't!).

We first experimented with this tool during our first quarterly tool audit, when Nick made the commitment to himself that he would do nothing other than work on the audit (and take care of himself, Melissa, and our son). And it worked pretty well!
