The Way To Get That Thing You're Putting Off Done.
Manage episode 476397280 series 3327267
Ever notice how that task you've been avoiding seems to grow more daunting the longer you put it off? Whether it's organizing finances, tackling creative work, or starting a side hustle, our resistance often stems from anticipating discomfort.
Today, we cut through conventional wisdom about motivation, acknowledging its fleeting nature - "like showering, it doesn't last, that's why you have to do it daily." Rather than fighting this reality, I offer a refreshingly simple approach: intentionally make difficult tasks enjoyable. The magic starts with asking yourself, "How can I make this task enjoyable?" - a question that shifts your mindset from suffering through obligations to designing pleasant experiences.
And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:
- Leave a review of this podcast.
- Email a screenshot of your review to [email protected]
Simple as that!
