1528: Just set a timer

This one's for you if you find tiny decisions impossible, and you just need to get the thing done.

Episode transcript:

Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. So one of the things that I really hate is shoe shopping. I have size 9 feet, they are not easy to get boots for, and my feet are also wide, so So let's just say getting any boots that I like the look of is a task. So yesterday I put on a timer and I just said, right, by the end of the timer when it goes off, I will have bought some fucking boots. And I literally got down to the last couple of minutes and I returned to one of the very first pairs that I'd already bookmarked before I'd even put the timer on. After really going around the houses and finding some lovely boots, trying to find them in stock in my size, only to find out they didn't even do my size. Now, why am I ranting to you about shoes this morning? I'm sharing because I encourage you to just put a timer on and get that fucker that you don't want to do done. Or if you are deliberating on something or going around the houses like I was and you think you might end up with the first option anyway, maybe it's time to call it quits and just go for it.

We already have so many things that we have to do, but also so many things that we really want to do, that as much as possible, let's save our brain space for the stuff that lights us up, and let's spend as little time on the boring fuckers as possible. I don't know about you, but I am so good at spending so long on pretty insignificant decisions, and I barely ever think in hindsight it's a very good use of my time. So let's put a timer on, let's get the fuckers done, and reclaim some of that time and energy, the most precious things we have, for ourselves and things that we actually want to do. Here's to making decisions, here's to timers, And I'll see you tomorrow.
