getting everything done

For all you fellow members of the Procrastination Club (and I daren't tell you how long some of the items have been on my to-do list):

Taurus Daily Horoscope

You may be in a hardworking mood, which could make you determined to complete your duties today. Your diligence might compel you to undertake tasks that might not be pleasant but are necessary. Setting the intention to do one thing that you have been putting off could make your day that much more productive. Before you start working today, you may want to think about the things on your to-do list that you have been avoiding. Give yourself a few minutes to reflect on why you have been procrastinating.

Perhaps it is due to an aversion to the task or a deeper unnamed fear. Naming your emotion and letting your inner self know that by getting your task done you are taking one step toward working through the issue might make you more motivated to dive into the less agreeable aspects of your work.

Understanding the reasons why we procrastinate allows us to overcome our anxiety and accomplish our tasks. Even when we feel diligent, we might only choose to do the things that are interesting, engaging, or enjoyable. While we’ll have a feeling of achievement, we still are not getting every thing done that we need to do. During the times when we are excited about working, it is important to include at least one task that we dislike because our motivation for other tasks will sustain us through the ones we avoid. Using your industriousness to keep you motivated will help you accomplish everything you need to do in your life today.

We'll see...
