Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for December 29th.
Did you know it’s Still Need To Do Day? That’s right, today is a gentle—or not-so-gentle—reminder to deal with those lingering tasks before the year wraps up. Whether it’s filing away important paperwork, clearing out your email inbox, or finally calling your mom back, this is your chance to tie up those loose ends.
In the spirit of unfinished business, here’s today’s quote from Benjamin Franklin: who once said...
"Well done is better than well said."
Talking about what you need to do feels good—it tricks your brain into thinking you’ve already made progress. But action? That’s where the real magic happens. Today is the perfect opportunity to move from “well said” to “well done.”
So, maybe instead of telling yourself for the 14th time that you’ll clean out the garage “this weekend,” grab a box and just start. Or if you’ve been meaning to set up that dentist appointment, stop saying, “I really should do that” and actually pick up the phone. Even the smallest action can set off a chain reaction of productivity.
And let’s be honest—crossing something off your to-do list? There’s no better feeling. It’s like giving procrastination a high-five and saying, “Not today.”
That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. Thank you for joining me as we tackle the unfinished business of the year together.
I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off, but I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station for another Daily Quote.
