Think of thrashing as the hard work and speed you put into your work when you’re faced with an immediate deadline.
Focus tightens. You lean on others for help. You make executive decisions. You move forward more quickly. You must more passion the anyone else.
Now imagine thrashing early. Before the deadline looms. Before anyone asks you to take the leap.
Why?
- Because you’re going to have 1,000 more things to do on top of the one thing you should have thrashed early at when the deadline finally looms
- Because you’ll find flaws or situations that would have set you back later, but instead set you back now (which is fine because now you have time to solve)
- Because that thing you just thrashed early on? It’s done. You can move onto something else that matters.
The list can go on if you’d like, but three solid reasons should be enough to start thrashing early.
Stay Positive & Better Sooner Than Never, That’s The Saying, Right?
