Summary

Bradley Charbonneau of Pass The Sour Cream encourages us to do the last thing on our to-do lists. Episode 1769: Do The Last Thing on Your To Do List by Bradley Charbonneau of Pass The Sour Cream on Productivity Hacks Bradley Charbonneau's dad died in 2015 and it was as if, for the first time, that he realized we were mortal and had only this life to live. Unless you're a cat, but he wasn't a cat and he wasn't living the life he thought that he was supposed to live. Since then, he's been writing. Every Single Day. Bradley's now published 12 books, closed down the company he founded (and realized he hated), and moved his family to Europe. It doesn't cost him energy, it provides him with energy. Every Single Day. It all started with a single decision to write every day. When are you going to start living the life you were meant to live?

0:36.2	Do the last thing on your to-do list by Bradley Sharbinow of pastisourcream.com
0:42.7	Mathematically, it's an easy equation. The joy you get from getting the to-do task off your list
0:48.8	is huge. Even more mind-boggling for the greatest Nobel prize-winning minds,
0:53.5	it often doesn't take much to get it done. So why doesn't one plus one equal to? Why did we let
0:58.9	those task linger unfinished or unstarted even? They might bug us every single day, maybe even a few
1:05.1	times per day, but yet we do nothing. Nothing more than wonder why we don't do them, or worse,
1:11.6	get frustrated with ourselves that we're not doing them. The solution seems, no, it is so simple,
1:17.8	just do the task. Be done with it. But we still don't do it. What is the mental block?
1:24.6	Accountability. Part of it is often the lack of accountability. If no one knows what we're supposed
1:30.0	to be doing, then probabilities are high that no one will know we haven't done them. The more people
1:35.2	who know, the harder it is to void. That is, if those who know are people whose opinions you respect.
1:41.5	I suppose if you told a bank teller that you're going to quit smoking and then you see the same
1:45.5	bank teller in a month and you hadn't quit smoking, you could. Number one, go to a different
1:50.2	teller. Number two, stalker hours and go another time. Number three, tell the teller, you didn't quit.
1:56.7	This is why people tell their friends are going on a diet or quitting smoking, or it's why they
