“I've said 'someday' for twenty years and the somedays are running out.”

'Someday' is the most expensive word there is — it spends a finite life on the assumption of an infinite one. Twenty years of deferral is twenty years gone. The math death forces is brutal and clarifying: there is no someday account. There's only this week, and a shrinking number of them.

Your Practice

  1. Write the 'someday' list. Look at how long it's been waiting.
  2. Pick the single most important one. Put a real date on it this week.
  3. Take the smallest possible first step toward it today. Break the deferral.
  4. Each time you catch yourself saying 'someday,' replace it with 'when, exactly?'
