Just do it

Written By Erica Neubert Campbell

I have still not replaced our beeping, broken fridge. While I love the alarm that goes off spontaneously, it’s time to fix it. Here is what I ask myself in these situations:

What is the two-minute version of the task you are avoiding?

Reflect on this question and get creative. Tasks can expand or contract according to the available time. Start small, and start now.

Today, I’m committed to a 2-minute search for a used fridge on Facebook Marketplace. Wish me luck!

REMINDER

As we close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month, take two minutes to schedule your mammogram or encourage a woman in your life.

If nothing else, read my 2-minute blog from years ago that will make you laugh out loud:

Blog: Who’s afraid of the big, bad mammogram?
