Seth Godin recently wrote about the fact that right now is one of the slowest times of the year for American businesses, and he challenges us to use this time strategically to finish out the projects that have been dragging on and on and on. Either hunker down, dig your hands into it, focus, and get it done or decide once and for all that it needs to be cancelled.

What task is hanging around your neck like an albatross? What ball-and-chain project do you think has the potential to be clasped to your leg for years if you don't finish it or cut it off? Is there something you've been putting off that you should officially deem not worth doing?
