Get 'er Done

Why can’t I get off the chair and get something done?

And I’ve got my reasons:

• No time.
• Tired.
• No hot water.
• Game is on t.v.
• Got other things to do.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

I saw this Ted Talks Youtube video that I wished I bookmarked or wrote the name of the presenter.  But she said that the effort to do something, like place a call to a new customer, fire and employee, tackle a new project, take out the garbage and so forth, is equal to reaching out and turning an alarm clock off in the morning when you’re dead asleep.

I’m a light sleeper and when that clock goes off, I’m out of bed whether I like it or not.

So, I have a reference to relate to.

I put it to test when I saw a sink full of dishes.  Normally, I’d wait till later, but with the alarm clock analogy in my head, I found myself washing dishes.

Not bad.  I learned something that benefited my reluctance to get things done. 

Funny how these things work.
