Finish One Thing
Finish one unfinished thing before starting anything new.

Why this one
Almost everyone has a shelf of ninety-per-cent projects. Clearing one changes how the rest of the shelf looks.
The rule
Finish one unfinished thing before starting anything new. For 7 days. That is the whole thing; there is nothing to sign up for and nobody is tracking you.
Post the card on day one so somebody knows you started. That
is the only accountability mechanism that reliably works and it is free.
