Tackle a Task

Today, take a minute (or more) and tackle a task. Often those tasks that seem overwhelming aren’t as ominous as they appear. You know the saying. “Caution: Obstacles in life may seem larger than they actually are.” I realized that today, as I had been procrastinating on the last big project of my move — my workspace. This sluggish attitude had relegated me to working on top of my bed for a month. I thought I needed three days to complete the task and just couldn’t push myself to get started. Today, I said, “Give it an hour.” In an hour, I got halfway through it, and now it is entirely manageable. Those of you staring at a formidable project that looms large in your psyche, try setting a timer for 30 minutes or an hour and taking that first step. You may be in for a pleasant surprise when you plow right through it.
