The Now or Never Clause

I’ve been walking around with a rip in my jacket for two years.

And it’s been on my list to fix it for two years.

And today, I decided to release it from my to-do list.

It’s now or never.

And sometimes, I choose never.

Even though it’s probably only a 30-minute job.

I’d rather just wear it ripped.

So I’m giving myself a Now or Never Clause.

If something on my to-do list isn’t important enough to get done now, it probably isn’t important enough to get done ever.

Goodbye, boring list of things to do that I will probably never do but feel guilty about every time I look at my list.

Good riddance.
