The chore you keep sliding to tomorrow is usually guarding something: a fear, a boredom, a bad memory. Figure out which.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Avoidance is rarely about the task. Something that keeps sliding to tomorrow is usually attached to something else: a call you dread, a memory in the box you would have to open, a decision the chore would force. The size of the resistance almost never matches the size of the job.

Pick the one you have been moving for weeks and ask what you would have to face once it was done. Name that. Often the task takes ten minutes after the real obstacle has been said out loud, and sometimes the obstacle is what needs handling first.
