Mastering Your Initiative
To get anything done, we need the traction to initiate movement from a standstill. In many ways, getting started is the hardest part. I’ve spent many hours cleaning my house, answering email, surfing the Web, re-sorting my bookshelves, watching television, and eating, eating, eating—in order to avoid a task. Not that eating and cleaning and email aren’t worthwhile. But if they’re a tactic to avoid what I need—and want—to do, then they’re a distraction.
And often, procrastination’s strongest influence is at the beginning of a project.
The surprising thing is that many times the task I’m avoiding is actually one I enjoy. And once I get started, I find it hard to stop. But if the task is big and challenging, requiring deep thought and effort, it can feel daunting and I frequently find myself reluctant to start.
The following chapters will help you move through that initial resistance. We’ll start by exploring an interesting technique to get things done without needing motivation at all. Then we’ll see how, when we do need motivation, we need only a little bit, fun can be a great booster, fear can be a useful kick in the pants, and our thoughts lead the way.
First, let’s start by looking at one way to skirt the need for motivation completely.
