Add some time, get it done...

In our book, my dad and I write about the impact of setting realistic and timely milestones on the projects and goals we decide to take on. Here is a productivity tip, in two parts: A) Go to your inbox (stack on your desk, email, voicemail, and notebooks) and find something that needs to be done "sooner than later." B) Call or email a mentor and ask them for a favor. You need them to hold you accountable to get that thing done. Decide in your mind By When you want to have completed it, and add a day or three. Ask your mentor two things: 1) Do you have any advice on how I can get that done? 2) Will you call me on (the chosen day) and ask me how I'm doing? Try it out, and see what happens.
