Let me be the first to admit…

 

Sometimes I put my head in the sand like an Ostrich…

 

And ignore the ‘important task monsters’ that I need to face.

 

You might know exactly what I am talking about.

 

If you notice… ’urgent tasks’ either get done.

Or we face the consequences.

 

Because there’s a deadline.

 

But ‘important tasks’… 

 

we can keep running away from them (until they become urgent).

 

Here are the 3 strategies that have been useful for me to face these ‘important task monsters’:

 

1.) ‘Ignore the outcome… just get bored’ strategy

 

Let’s say I want to create a training.

 

Now if I worry about creating a training… perfect training… 

 

I will never get it done.

 

So I start by removing the outcome. 

 

Here’s what my to-do says: 

Sit for 30 mins (training).

 

In these 30 mins… all I have to do is SIT at my desk.

 

I can think about the training… 

create the slides… 

stare at my screen… 

stare at walls and windows…

fidget my legs…

snap my fingers…

 

I can do any of these things.

 

But I can’t do anything else. 

I can’t do other tasks or scroll my phone or watch Netflix.

 

Either I’ll get bored. Or I’ll create a slide or two.

 

And somehow when I sit like this for a few days in a row… 

I end up creating the training.

 

Many famous writers do this. 

 

Boredom is good for creativity 🙂

 

2.) ‘Just write 1 line’ strategy

 

I break the task into a tini-tiny form.

 

“Just write 1 line”

“Work out for 5 mins”

“Create 10 sec video”

 

When I do a task in this ‘tini-tiny’ form… I usually don’t stop.

 

And I end up getting the whole thing done.

 

3.) ‘Head on the line’ strategy

 

This one is for you… 

 

if you’re feeling ADVENTUROUS.

 

I’ll announce I’m launching the training on a particular date.

 

I’ll make a promise to a client that they will get the design on a particular date.

 

I’ll invest a bit out of my reach so I have to generate more profits in my business.

 

Now either I will deliver. Or my head is on the line.

 

Disclaimer: Don’t take the risks that you can’t recover from.

 

Those were the 3 strategies that have worked for me.

 

Experiment with ‘em.

 

That’s it for today.
