I realized that many times I hold back on doing my work because I do not feel like doing it at that particular moment. Many of us would rather do today's work tomorrow which I noticed is not a very clever way to go about achieving success.
The secret to not feeling like doing a task, yet doing it anyway, is to discover
the “psychic income” you receive when you overcome the urge to avoid the
unpleasant tasks. Those who are good at doing the painful, distasteful
tasks will tell you they experience an internal pay-off. It is a
satisfaction on a psychological level that feels rewarding and
fulfilling. Be prepared for the natural tug-of-war that will rage within
you as you face the hard things you’d rather avoid. Part of you wants
to find something easier to do, but the part of you that says, “I don’t
feel like it, but I still have to do it” is the one worth listening to.
My plan from now on is to always do when I do not feel like doing. I believe that by doing this I will always reach my goals even when I am discouraged or not motivated enough.
