Procrastinating On the Unpleasant

Management consultant after business coach will tell you that you cannot procrastinate on unpleasant tasks. You have to get them done no matter what. Perhaps it is that phone call to the client that does not pay their bills. Or the installing the new computer/technology system.

But how many times have you told yourself after the fact, "that was not as bad as I thought it would be"? No, you don't have to always do them as they come in. But you also cannot put them off forever. Instead, devote a set time every week that is just for the unpleasant tasks. Make it a scheduled, regular time, if possible. But spend some time every week, at least an afternoon, to deal with the unpleasant. Fire that client. Clean the office. Do your taxes.

Then, as a treat to yourself, go get a mani/pedi.
