Often, what I should be doing is the last thing that I want to do. Maybe it's just making a phone call. I know it will be quick and easy, yet I can't bring myself to do it, and I can't even say why.
At times like this, I think I need a bribe. I need to find a way to reward myself for doing the task. This is one of the ideas I learned from The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg. Sometimes I just need to figure out "my currency", what can I give myself in exchange for exercising, for getting through a pile of mail at home, or working in the yard? What privilege? What treat?
