Do Wa Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do 1 Thing

Thursday is a great day to do that 1 thing you don’t want to do but also don’t want to continue thinking about doing.

Hey, it’s Thursday! In addition to plowing through the metric tons of freelance work I’ve agreed to do, should my 1 thing be to do laundry, shop for groceries, follow up with our disappearing-reappearing handyman, change my kid’s pediatrician (again), send some invoices, update my records via Evernote? Maybe my 1 thing will be to listen to that voicemail I received over the weekend that I’ve been scared to check, because who leaves voicemails anymore unless it’s something Serious.

Hm. My 1 thing might be sorting out which 1 thing is more important than the others and will make me feel best to have accomplished, because when I’m this overwhelmed, my instinct is to hide. LAUNDRY. There. I will clean and dry my family’s clothes using machinery and thus, with minimal effort on my part, I will feel like a savior. And I’ll listen to the damn voicemail.

What’s your 1 thing?
