Large work needs large motivation.

Don’t even started until you see a point in doing it, because it’s going to be really unpleasant. If you if you stimulate pain centres related to that task, A) your performance will be worse, B) you won’t enjoy it, and C) it would take much, much longer for you to get it done.

So, write down a list of at least 20 benefits of doing the task (although, I like to suggest people writing about 50 benefits!).

This is a game-changer for many people, but you have to work out what your true ‘values’ are first. So look at what things keep on distracting you, what things you always find money, time, energy for.

For me, I know my daughter, my relationship with my husband and my work are my top three values – I always find the energy for those things. If I was tasked with something I wasn’t interested in, I would try and link it to my values, writing down how it benefits them. Once I stack up those benefits linked to my true values, I would be much more motivated to do it.
