Episode 80: That One Thing You’ve Been Avoiding (and what to do about it))
Description
We all have them—the nagging, unfinished tasks that have been sitting on our list for months, sometimes years. They weigh us down, drain our energy, and quietly whisper that we’re falling behind. For me, it was finally starting Invisalign after years of thinking, “I should do something about my teeth.” It’s a year-long commitment, but the simple act of beginning has already lifted a huge mental load.
In this episode of Tales from The Lane, I challenge you to choose your “one thing” and commit to tackling it this year. We’ll explore why unfinished tasks drain our focus (hello, Zeigarnik Effect), how finally starting creates momentum, and why clearing that lingering to-do is often more powerful than adding something new to your plate.
If you’ve been carrying around something you keep saying you’ll do “someday,” this is your sign to make someday today.
