Ease procrastination-time yourself with hard to start tasks...

Time Effort vs. Physical Effort.
We spend a lot of time dreading some simple tasks of
everyday life: Cleaning, taking out the trash, emptying the
dishwasher, taking the dog for a walk, etc. In reality, the jobs we
dread only require 15-20 minutes of our precious time.

 Exercise I:
Next time you look at the heaping amount of dishes in the sink and
you know you have to empty the dishwasher of clean dishes before
you can even consider this chore one half finished, time yourself. It
diverts the dread of the chore, and makes it seem like the 10-15
minutes it actually takes to do it. You would spend double the time
dreading it and dragging your feet.

Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month, Year, Decade,
Century, Millennium.
We are born on a special day when time begins for each of us. We
have approximately 75-80 years here on Earth. With this amount of
time in mind, here is the breakdown:

Total time on Earth:
900 months.
3900 weeks.
27,375 days.
525,600 hours.
3,536,000 minutes.

Minus the hours we sleep.
600 months.
2600 weeks.
18,250 days.
350,400 hours
2,357,333 minutes.
Time is the same for everyone. It is our true nature to think we are
eternal in this life. However, if we get 75 birthdays here on Earth,
then we are lucky. Think of time as your most precious
possession. It is yours right now. Use it to spread goodness and
understanding to everyone.

 Exercise II:
1. Close your eyes.
2. Find a quiet spot.
3. Get your mind clear. Your thoughts still.
4. Say to yourself:
“I have all of my Birthdays.”
“I want to spend my time sharing inspiration.”
“I have all the time I need.”
