This type of chart makes me view both c<strong>at</strong>egories side by side. My dislikes are equally as<br />

important as my dislikes once I rank them.<br />

I challenge you <strong>to</strong> face your procrastin<strong>at</strong>ion. Look it straight in the eye <strong>and</strong> figure out why you<br />

are putting something off. Spend some time thinking about it. Do you fear you will fail? Do<br />

you simply not like doing the task?<br />

If it’s fear of failure, then jump in. Failure is how we learn. It doesn’t m<strong>at</strong>ter if you fail. Failure<br />

is the p<strong>at</strong>h <strong>to</strong> success. It’s by failure th<strong>at</strong> we underst<strong>and</strong> how <strong>to</strong> adjust a recipe or recode<br />

software. Failure helps us. Embrace it.<br />

Getting <strong>Start</strong>ed:<br />

The Art of <strong>Doing</strong>: <strong>One</strong> Step <strong>at</strong> a <strong>Time</strong><br />

1. If you REALLY don’t want <strong>to</strong> do something think about its priority. Rank th<strong>at</strong> something<br />

on a scale of 1 <strong>to</strong> 5. If it’s a 5 you need <strong>to</strong> do it.<br />

If it ranks lower either deleg<strong>at</strong>e or delete it.<br />

Let’s use the “I don’t’ know how <strong>to</strong> do ‘x” example <strong>and</strong> name “x.” “X” is I don’t know<br />

how <strong>to</strong> cook Chicken Caccia<strong>to</strong>re <strong>and</strong> it’s my friend’s favorite dish. You want <strong>to</strong> make the<br />

dish but feel uncomfortable with the outcome. It’s your friend’s birthday <strong>and</strong> they had<br />

r<strong>at</strong>her dine in <strong>and</strong> c<strong>at</strong>ch up. The pressure is on <strong>and</strong> you ranked this a 5. High priority.<br />

2. Once a priority is assigned an estim<strong>at</strong>ed amount of time <strong>to</strong> complete the task, e.g. 4<br />

hours.<br />

3. Break th<strong>at</strong> time up in<strong>to</strong> workable chunks of time, but keep in mind th<strong>at</strong> once you get<br />

in<strong>to</strong> flow, you don’t want <strong>to</strong> lose th<strong>at</strong> flow. It takes <strong>to</strong>o much time <strong>to</strong> recoup. Ideally<br />

commit <strong>to</strong> 60 <strong>to</strong> 90 minutes of focus time for each planned time slot.<br />

4. Plan – write down the steps.<br />
