I always feel better when I accomplish something. I’m writing a new book right now and it’s a tough one as it involves some research. I put off the writing because I’m a dodo bird, but it’s going well now. What I always notice when I finally do start writing is that projects take way, way less time to complete than I think they will. I just finished a part of the book I was sure would take about three hours- it took half that!
Remember:
You can unload a dishwasher in three minutes
Clean your room or vacuum your house in 20 minutes
Make five sales calls in 30 minutes
Get rid of a lot of email in one hour
Think of it in terms of watching television. It’s so easy to sit in front of the TV for hours getting nothing done. I used to do that when I was depressed. Now I know that getting up and doing something for just 20 minutes can make a huge difference in my mood.
