What’s that one thing, whether at work, at home or in a relationship, that you could do that would make all the difference in the world? It lingers and weighs on you, but somehow you never have the time, energy or courage to tackle it. The more you neglect and postpone, the more difficult it becomes to start or complete.

Want a simple solution? Grab your calendar and block off a day called “that one thing”. Life won’t pause around you and there will be other demands on your time, energy and attention, but guard the day with vigor. Make your only objective to do the one thing of consequence that has alluded you in the past.

The trick here is a dedicated day with a singular focus. That one thing keeps alluding us because we try to squeeze it in when we need to create room for it to consume us so we can overcome the inertia. If you find the exercise helpful, consider setting aside a “one thing” day every month or quarter.
