Once you do nothing, it's hard to quit.
-- unknown
Have you ever looked around your home or office and thought to yourself, "I really need to clear the top of my desk," or "I really have to get that closet cleaned out," then, in frustration, said to yourself, "There's no way I can get to that today!"
Even some of my most organized friends have confessed they have delayed completing daunting tasks when the job seemed too overwhelming!
Sometimes we put those monumental tasks off because we've mistakenly bought into the idea that every single task begun must be finished with no interruption in the process -- that failing to complete every single thing on the "to do" list is tantamount to failure!
The thing to remember is that no matter the size of the task, you have to break it down into "pieces" to accomplish completion!
Doing "nothing" that moves you closer to finishing the job accomplishes just that -- NOTHING!
It's easy to put things off again and again when the assignment is one that you know will consume a lot of time.
My challenge on this day is to do SOMETHING that will move you toward the completion of that really enormous task that has been set before you! (You might find it interesting to keep track of how many steps, or how much time it involves to actually finish the task!)
Blessings,
Sharon
