The work you avoid today returns tomorrow with interest.

Postponed work does not stay the same size. The email becomes an apology, the conversation becomes a conflict, the small repair becomes a replacement, and the tax you pay is not just time but the low background weight of carrying it around all week. Avoidance is not free, it is financed. You just do not see the statement until later.

Look at what has been on your list longest and estimate how long it would actually take. Usually the answer is embarrassing compared to the space it has occupied. Do that one first today and notice how much attention comes back.
