Day 19 – Finish Something You Have Been Putting Off

[Greeting]

Just a few more days left of the Stress Management Challenge! Today is day 19, and 
we are going to be productive today by doing something you have been putting off. 

That’s right, you are being put to the test and doing a very small task that you keep 
putting off, but is not difficult to do. You will feel so much better and have such a huge 
weight lifted off you.

Make a List of What You Are Putting Off

Let’s start today by putting together a list of everything you have been putting off. This 
should be a master list, so it can be anything, big or small. A phone call, going through 
your email, organizing your desk drawers, running an errand, sprucing up your resume, 
anything with an obvious solution. It should have something actionable you are able to 
do, and you know what is expected of you.

*	Do you need to get your passport soon, but keep avoiding taking the picture?
*	Can you finally go get your oil change in your car?
*	Is there a phone call that you have been putting off?
*	What errands need to be done?
*	What chores could be done today, that you just keep procrastinating on?

The more you think about it, the longer your list will be. Remember these should be 
simple things where you know exactly what must be done to complete it. 

Choose Something for Today

Once you have your list, pick something you can get done today, and do it! Even if it’s 
the easiest one that would take you 5 minutes, it’s worth it because it is one less thing 
on your plate.
