Start as though you had finished

Start as though you had finished

You feel good when you get a job done. We all do.

When was the last time you finished a job, especially a job that was difficult to do, or a job that you were reluctant to start, or a job that was boring?

What was it?

What did you feel like when the job was done?

Stop… and really remember how that feels.

How much better would you perform if you started a job in this state?

So, as you face a difficult job, or as you are procrastinating, imagine how you will feel when you finish it.

Really feel the reward of getting it done successfully.

Now, in that heightened state of success, and knowing that you can do it, get stuck in.

You will be surprised at how the job flows so much more easily.

My best wishes, Paul
