“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.” – Robert Kiyosaki
Let’s be honest—procrastination has a sneaky way of piling up little tasks into mountains of stress. Emails unanswered. Closets unorganized. That call you’ve been meaning to return? Still waiting.
But what if, just for one day, you flipped the script?
I want to introduce you to a powerful idea: Do It Now Day.
This is a day you intentionally set aside to take immediate action on the tasks you’ve been avoiding—not next week, not “someday soon.” Today. Right now. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about creating momentum and reclaiming your energy from the mental clutter of unfinished business.
10 Examples of What You Might Tackle on a “Do It Now” Day
Here are ten common things many of us delay—along with a nudge to tackle them today:
1. Return that phone call – You know the one. A friend, family member, or colleague has been waiting to hear from you.
2. Schedule overdue appointments – Dentist, doctor, eye exam? Call now and get it on the calendar.
3. Clean out one drawer – Start with the junk drawer. Toss the clutter, keep the useful.
4. Update your passwords – Especially the ones you’ve been reusing for years. (You know better!)
5. Cancel a subscription you don’t use – Five minutes could save you money and mental bandwidth.
6. Send a thank-you note – Whether handwritten or digital, gratitude is always worth acting on.
7. Back up your photos – Don’t wait for a tech disaster to remind you how precious they are.
8. Donate clothes you haven’t worn in a year – Bag them up and put them in your car. Done.
9. Organize your digital desktop – Those 147 files? Sort them. Trash what you don’t need.
10. Write that email you’ve been dreading – Whether it’s a pitch, apology, or update—draft it and hit send.
Now… Take the Next Step
Here’s the magic: once you start acting, you feel better. The weight lifts. Your confidence returns. You gain clarity, not just in your to-do list, but in your mindset.
Today, I declared my own Do It Now Day and knocked out several of the tasks above. I sent overdue emails, booked that eye appointment, and even tackled the black hole that was my desktop screen. Each action took less than 10 minutes—but together? They created momentum.

Pick three things you’ve been avoiding and knock them out in the next hour. Then, write down how you feel. My guess? You’ll feel lighter, clearer, more in control.
Final Thought: Life Rewards Action
Let’s stop letting those small to-dos take up big space in our minds. Let’s stop waiting for the perfect time. Let’s take action—now.
Your day is waiting. Your future self is already thanking you.
