Procrastinating

Pay attention to the amount of time you are procrastinating or dreading doing something. It might be the dishes, your taxes, starting a fitness program, etc. Notice the time it takes to actually do something about that particular thing. If you are spending more time worrying than it takes to accomplish the task, you are wasting years of your life and marinating yourself with negativity. Just fill the sink, compile your tax papers, and go for a half-hour walk instead. Now, you’ll feel like you accomplished something. Notice how much better that feels than dreading something? Next time, start the task on the first negative thought, then you’ll develop the habit of just getting the thing done the first time it occurs to you for the most part.”
