X is for eXecution.

"Execution" is the sort of word you only expect to encounter on the powerpoint slide of a high-powered business executive, but it's just a fancy way of talking about doing the tasks on your list.

Once you've broken down everything that needs to be put onto your list(s), and sorted the tasks based on their context and importance/urgency then you'll know what you need to do next. Then you need to stop procrastinating and focus on just doing the tasks. And if you keep going you'll get through the work and then you can relax and congratulate yourself on what you've accomplished.
