How many half-done manuscripts are sitting on your computer? How many unfinished drafts are waiting in your drafts folder for your blog? How many unreturned emails are waiting for you to say “Yes!” to a great opportunity for your business?

Each of these are collecting the proverbial dust - they’re just waiting for you or someone else to come by and either put them out of their misery or complete them.

Finish what you started. That one book you wanted to be 60,000 words long and it’s only at 40,000 words? It’s okay if you wrap up your book at 40,000 words. You can publish now and always add onto your book later.

Whatever’s holding you back, whether it’s self-doubt, procrastination, or just plain laziness, block out time this week to just get it done. Ignore the unimportant for even a few hours and get it done.

You will feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that one draft that’s been collecting dust is now free to be shared with the world around you.

What’s one thing you’ve been working on for far too long that you can finish and launch this week? That’s your mission: get it done!
