On the path to greatness, there will be 100 overcomings.
I will chronicle my attempts to overcome procrastination. My technique is to start small, really small.
==================
Today I will talk about another task that has been sitting there for months, actually closer to a year.
On my to-do list I only had "clean 4 items out of car," because I have discovered with dishes that 4 is the tipping point for which I can get myself to comply 100% of the time.
Still, I felt a little drowsy today even after taking a walk.
First, I let myself play a game of backgammon. That was a few minutes. But then I went over to my to-do list. I sighed when I saw the item about cleaning 4 items, but then I could feel a huge smile come onto my face as I realized I could listen to a song as I did the work (which it now seems is my way of handling all of my crap work).
I pulled the recycling bin to one side, the trash can to the other, and I just cleared the entire car out. I ended up feeling so great about it, I ended up doing some of my mowing, making tomorrow easier.
Heck, I felt sooo great about it, that I played a game of backgammon, and then wrote this post.
