Today I finally got so fed up carrying the mental burden of some nagging tasks that I just did them. You have to adopt a particular mindset, don't you, to do the things you have been putting off, and putting off...
My conversation with myself went something like this (it was about contacting someone) -
Why am I putting this off? I've put it off so long now it's going to cause me some embarassment to do it.
How long will the embarassment last? Minutes.
Will I actually die of embarassment? No.
How much will it hurt? Well, I'll squirm a bit.
How will I feel after this is done? Great. Relieved. Clear headed. Lighter. Happier.
How long will it actually take to do? Fifteen minutes max.
Can I come up with one really sound, intelligent reason not to do it? No.
Simply did it! (And of course it wasn't so bad and I wondered why I had put it off so long. Some things I just don't learn.....)
Now, the tax return..
