My biggest time-draining task, if I am being completely honest with myself, is overcoming my initial hesitation or even flat-out fear of different tasks that I will be doing throughout the day.
Let's be honest.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
I'm sure a lot of you guys, if you practice a deep level of self-awareness, go through this process.
There are a lot of things that just freak you out, that you feel are just unnecessary.
They're tedious or they're inconsequential.
You try to basically hold off on doing them and you focus on things that are more relaxing or more engaging to you.
That's why a lot of people spend a tremendous amount of time checking their emails when they know they don't have any new emails, or they're going over old emails that they've gotten but they already know what they contain.
What they're doing is they're just trying to kill time because they don't want to handle what needs to be handled.
A lot of this is emotional.
This is my biggest time-draining task stripped down to its most basic and visceral form.
How do I overcome this?
Very simple.
Previously I watched a video of Art Williams on YouTube.
It's called the "Just Do It" video.
It's a very simple message.
Just do it!
That's it!
That's all there is to it.
It doesn't get any deeper than that.
He makes it funny because he has that folksy Southern accent.
But that's the gist of it.
Just do it.
And guess what!
That is the answer.
A lot of these emotional issues that make work harder than it needs to be can easily be overcome when you don't have any other choice because you throw yourself into your tasks and lock the door behind you.
That's it!
You have to knock it out.
You need to take care of it right now.
This is the key to success in anything.
Whether you work for somebody else or you work for yourself, whether you're a student or you're out of school, whether you're working on your relationships, whether you're working on your body, it doesn't matter.
You have to overcome the battle within.
This is not something that can be handled by a tool or done away with a pill or you can hire a VA to work it out for you.
No!
You have to do it yourself, and that's what makes it so scary for so many people.
So what do they do?
They kick the can down the road.
