You can say, I'm on a quest or I'm battling the dragon of procrastination, or you can visualize it as a journey.
But the really important thing is to figure out what is going to motivate you.
When I was a kid, my dad took us to the park and he just wanted us to learn that it's important
to clean up, you know, your public spaces and people would leave their trash in the park.
And so...
We picked up the trash, but we were pretending that we were like pirates.
So we'd pick up clothes hangers and be fighting with them like there were swords.
And we would have the plastic bags or whatever and tie them as bandanas.
This is what I remember.
That then grew into a whole scene in my mind and made the task much more fun.
Exactly.
And ultimately, you're doing the same thing, but you're getting yourself to feel much more excited about it.
You're reframing it in a way that makes it feel much more fun.
You're listening to Life Kit.
