What to Do When You have a CHORE that you DON'T Want to Do?!

in #procrastination7 years ago

There are certain chores that come up all the time that you HATE to do because you rather be doing something else that is way more fun, engaging or rewarding.

You try to avoid it. You try to ignore it. You try to put it off, but you know it's not going anywhere!

You know that you should do it because if you don't it will lead to a situation getting out of hand, and ultimately you don't want this to happen. But still, you just don't want to do that chore!

So what do you do??

Here's a secret to conquer the procrastination and it works every time...JUST DO IT!

Were you waiting for some sort of magic pill or silver bullet?

No, sorry, the answer is just as boring as the chore that you had to do in the first place, LOL.

So, if you already identified that this chore is something that you SHOULD do because it leads to some greater benefit or it prevents some later disaster, the best thing to do is to JUMP ON IT AND TACKLE IT RIGHT AWAY!

It may seem "hard" to do at first but once you get started, it will get much easier. Starting is already 50% of the battle. And once you're done, you will feel a lot better that the stupid boring chore is now out of the way. And your mind will be at ease to move on to something else that you actually want to do. Or even better, you will feel motivated to conquer another one of those stupid boring chores, based on the law of inertia.

On the flip side, the more you wait is the more you won't want to do it. You will feel worse and worse every time you think of it until it's done and off your plate.

Speaking from experience, of course.

So tell me one of your stupid boring chores that you know you should do that you totally don't want to do right now? Don't be shy or ashamed, because we all have them!
