Setting a time,
for a task to be done,
is not just about the due date,
the “too late to bother” date,
the “well I guess it should be finished” time;
It’s about letting it be in the past,
so you can move forward,
from that pile of laundry you left,
just a bit too long,
or the dishes,
you should have done yesterday.
Or you know,
whatever else.
