Default My Excuses

My mind is finding a ton of excuses for avoiding the tasks I need to do. It's like a little kid, really.

I'm cold

I can do it later

I'm tired, I can do it in the morning

It doesn't really matter if I do it or not - what's the big deal

I deserve a break

I don't HAVE to do it

Even if not doing it has bad consequences, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I just don't care anymore.

Waaah! I don't wanna do it!

Who will win, the kid or the adult? The kid is awfully persistent. Can anyone relate to this?

I think we can all relate to what you are saying. This is why I shot a video on motivating ourselves to do things we don't like to do. I call it Sidedoor Motivation.

It works for me as I still push myself to do certain things I don't particularly like but I know that they are good for me.
