Every task you push to tomorrow shows up with a friend.

Postponing does not delete anything, it stacks. Tomorrow already has its own work, so the thing you moved arrives on top of that, and now two jobs are competing for the same afternoon. The pile grows faster than the days do, which is why one small avoided task can turn into a week that feels impossible.

Take the smallest item you have been carrying and finish it in the next ten minutes, badly if necessary. Clearing one thing off the stack does more for the rest of the week than planning the whole week does.
