Don't Over Think It

This approach I'm going to be discussing in the post is for everyone, for the person at home, who just wants to do the odds jobs of cleaning the house and washing clothes, and all that. And the entrepreneur, that wants to do important tasks that are not pleasant to him/her at all.

Everyone of us has probably been there before. In a situation where you have a task that you should have completed like 3 days ago still lying there before you, and you've not as little as started it. Anytime you think of it, you just run away. What most people fail to realize is that even though we're adults, sometimes we act like kids and run away from unpleasant or painful things, which as adults we should have faced head long.

Truth is that, if you start to think about it too much, the chances are you'll not do it, this is simply because you've stood there imagining how ugly that task is, the amount of stress it will bring to you. You've let the pain sink in, you see how much you really dislike that activity. You've completely demotivated yourself, by yourself. By allowing yourself time to think too much. Just jump at it. Get started already.

It's easy for people to say that you should do what you love or what you like. But in reality, it's not quite easy. Sometimes what we want to do requires resources we don't have a the moment. So are we going to sit down and cry about it? Or are we going to start wishful thinking that somehow we come to luck and get the resources we need? The truth is that, if you're in such a situation, and in fact many people are in such a situation, you have to do the jobs or things that you don't like, in order to raise funds to do the things that you like.

So you find yourself in this really undesired situation, where you're working a job you don't fancy even the slightest, just to make ends meet. The activities there are unpleasant to you, but you have to get it done, to get the paycheck. In fact, sometimes you may be doing what you love, but dislike an aspect of it. Either ways, there's an ugly task in front of you, and you need to get it done.

In my personal experience, if you just get started. Don't over think it. Jump at it. Just start from anywhere. You'll see that this odd job will be done quickly. This is because you did not give yourself reasons to run away. You just completely avoided all the mental pain that imagining doing it will bring and you get to it. Never over think unpleasant things, you'll be doing yourself no good at all.

The mind is a very powerful tool. It can be very useful and can be very dangerous to you. How you use your mind is very crucial. Don't give yourself a second to think of unhelpful thoughts, make a short line in your mind when thinking of an uninteresting task, that you must do. All you should be thinking, is getting it done. And not dwelling on the fact that you don't like it.
