Unironically, the Shia “Do it!” meme is a mantra I follow. Like if I need to do something at work that I hate doing, I just tell myself that it’s inevitable and there’s no avoiding it, so might as well stop putting it off and just do it. It had worked for me so far.
I always think of it as doing your future self a favour. And when the time comes, future me always thanks past me for doing it.
My problem is it is never that simple. It's never "do this thing or don't," it's "you have to do these five things. This one might be really difficult or time consuming. The other four your can just do right now." So the difficult one keeps getting pushed out because other things, that are also necessary, are easier. The list never completely empties, so it's like Hunter's Stew, with the difficult thing just collecting at the bottom until it becomes an emergency.
And then I find out it's a relatively simple thing, I just had to do it.
