Ask If It Must Be Done Now
- Ask yourself, "Do I have to do this now?" before reacting to something you dislike.
- If the answer is yes, do it now to avoid worse consequences later.
Name Your 'Later' And Schedule It
- If not now, name a specific future time by asking, "If not now, when?" and schedule it.
- Use timers, alarms, or calendar reminders to create a fail-safe so "later" becomes a real now.
