If there is something you are dreading/scared to do, just throw yourself into it and do it, don’t worry about doing it right necessarily. Make it fear you with how directly you’re attacking it, flip the script. Thanks Nike. Prioritize action to inaction.
Semi related too, if there’s something you want to put off that takes less then 5 minutes, always do it then.

But I think honestly the answer is just the right time/best time is whenever you make up your mind you want to do it! The perfect time isn’t just going to fall into your lap- Think about jumping into a pool that’s kind of cold- just do it and get it over with, staring at it/thinking about it won‘t make things better! You got this!

If you think of something you know needs to get done, immediately go do it or write it down in your to-do list. This has made my life so much better. Don’t avoid hard conversations either. It’s easier to just do it than it is to dwell.

That thing you walk by every day and think, ”Ugh, I need to take care of that.”
And then you don’t take care of it, and then you walk by it again and think, “Ugh, why didn’t I deal with that! I suck.”
And then you’re depressed.
(Or is it just me?)
Well, next time say, “I’m going to do this right now.”
And then, don’t just move it somewhere closer to where it needs to go. If it needs to be in a box in the closet, take the box down and it the thing inside. Don’t put it on the shelf next to the box. Do it right.
I, for one, feel so much better about myself when things are taken care of.

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
