Daily Digest: No. 7
Is loading the dishwasher a point of contention in your home?
Do you stand there and labor over it to see if you can fit one more thing in if you just… move these other seven things around first?
I totally do this to the point where it drives my husband crazy because we could just close it up, turn it on and go back to our show.
Lately when he catches me laboring over plate placement decisions he yells from the sidelines, “JUST RUN IT!”
The first few times I argued that we just needed one more mug (…or bowl, or spoon) and then it would be full enough to run.
He’d always insist that if we just run it then we could have all those clean dishes in the morning.
The concept has been so effective at keeping our dishes under control that now I find myself using this as my new mantra when I feel stuck at something.
It works in in my day-to-day business, too.
What if we stopped laboring over every word in our email newsletter or every detail in a photograph?
What if we just rolled up our sleeves and clicked send on something that is slightly less than perfect?
What would happen?
We would finish something!
We would make progress on a project giving us a nice shiny clean to-do list in the morning.
Say it with me… Just run it, Heather.
