The short answer: One postponed task, done is Day 21's documented prompt: each day, one task that has been carried gets finished — the daily drain on the pile of postponements every man in this audience maintains.
What it is
One named, carried, postponed task — finished today. Not the whole pile: one item, by name, to completion.
Why one
The pile is never attacked whole — that's why it survives. One finished postponement a day is small enough to survive a hard week and large enough to empty the pile in a month. It's the procrastination doctrine at daily scale: shrink the commitment until it's schedulable.
How Frank runs it
The Week 3 sequence pairs it with the hardest-task rant: the carried task gets named out loud — in his content, to his audience — then scheduled, done, and marked. Naming is part of the standard: a postponement said out loud loses its fog.
How it scores
One postponed task finished: done or not. Partial credit doesn't exist on the scorecard; a half-done task returns tomorrow as the named one.
