One thing I've learned is that once I do whatever I've been putting off, I am always amazed at how I can't remember why I put it off to begin with. The 72 hour rule puts procrastination in a whole different light. Major procrastinator here.

And Sarah, I'm also someone who keeps things on the list until they're done, usually. And when I realized the presence of the 72-hour rule I was even more motivated to get things done faster than usual. Thank you all.

I run a tight "To Do List" but having read your article it makes me want to tighten it up even more. Everything goes on my list and never gets deleted until it is done, but even so some things can stay on it longer than is necessary and although I prioritize it could still be better.....!

I'd like to add that some people procrastinate because they want to do too many things at a given time. It sort of paralyses you when you bite off more than you can chew, doesn't it? And indeed, taking baby steps towards your aims does help. That’s true. I’d like to add that some people procrastinate because they want to do too many things at a given time.

In case of emergency .. my boyfriend told me about this.

I have a lot of things that needs to be done. Most of them are past the three-day timeframe. Maybe I should start applying this 72-hour rule. I have a lot of things that needs to be done.

I use one and find it quite valuable. The problem occurs when my wife and I differ over what household tasks should go on the "now" list vs. the "someday" list. :) Great article, Marcus.
