I have two giant trees in my small front yard. Which means that while only about fifty percent of the leaves have fallen so far, my yard is covered and it’s only getting more covered.
So the question is…do I bag them up now and then bag up the rest once they’ve fallen in a week…or do I just do them all at the same time next week?
Well this isn’t my first rodeo.
I’ve found that whether there’s a lot of leaves or a LOT of leaves, it takes about the same time to get the lawn cleared in both cases.
So while it might seem like I’m getting ahead of the game by starting now and thereby making less work for myself later…in the grand scheme it’s better to hold off and do them all at the same time.
The metaphor holds true for a lot of the busy work we rush out to do just to make ourselves feel productive.
