Every marketer knows this sentence:

I’ll just make a small change, it will take 5 minutes.

3 hours later:

• Changed the whole website
• Watched 5 tutorials
• Opened 20 new tabs
• Forgot the original task

Anyone else experience this?

Very common issue. Very few people believe in outsourcing small tasks and value expertise of other people.
