When do you dust your house?<\/p>\n

Cut your hair?<\/p>\n

After<\/strong> they need it.<\/p>\n

You always wash your hands after<\/strong> you need to.<\/p>\n

After they get dirty.<\/p>\n

Not before.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OK, so?<\/p>\n

Some things are better done before<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Like with dirty hands, the cumulative is slow but absolute. (#73<\/a><\/em> Killing Frogs)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with any decision, your options automatically cancel themselves as time goes by. The idea is to make a decision before<\/strong> there are no options left.<\/p>\n

After: you are forced to accept.<\/p>\n

Before: you can choose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Think of an important thing you\u2019ve been putting off. (As usual!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Now make a decision.<\/p>\n

Before you absolutely must.<\/p>\n

And before all options are gone.<\/p>\n
