Whenever there is a small task that will take less than a few minutes, I ask myself "When else are you going to have 80 seconds?" and usually that makes me realize I should just get it done now. Sometimes I still say "tomorrow" and reminds me to pick a specific time to do the task.
I get this advice, but I hate this advice. I have a million things to do that take just a couple minutes. I never know when to stop!
That's just it - getting started is the hurdle.
My rule of thumb for this is once I've begun cleaning in preparation for the other 4 ideas I have buzzing around, I write those down, finish one task and call it from there (this is usually after 2 to 5 mini-tasks that ends up with cleaning)
