I've just set a timer for 10 minutes. It's supposed to be a way to
get your incentive going. The idea is you aren't doing something because of all
the many reasons you have for not doing it so doing it for a short time will show you how to get started. So many times the main reason you
don't get going on what you want to do is because you don't have time. You go
to great lengths to make that a feasible excuse. Even when you know you have
time you will sometimes rearrange the things in your life and find out,
"Oh look. No time." Point that rigidly straight index finger down at
that trim wrist. "See." Shrug.
So I've come across yet another piece of
information that explains all the things I already know about this. It
suggested you sit down and do whatever it is you are not getting done for five
minutes. Just five minutes. You have that much time. You can do it. Do this every
day until you get past the idea and excuse for not doing it. It’s only five
minutes a day.
So, I've decided to give myself a built-in excuse for why this won’t
work. I went for 10 minutes. Sure. I knew what I was up to and doing. I knew
there was the possibility of there being a reason behind only five minutes. You
might actually be able to do five
minutes. And when you finish, you get to jump up and celebrate and feel good
and say, Yeah! I can do this. I can check this off my list! I did this today, I
can do it again tomorrow, and then instead of having days in a row of nothing,
I will have an accumulation of daily five minutes concentrated on this
thing.
So in order to give my inner self a way to
get out of this really working, I set the timer for 10 minutes. I doubled the
time in the suggested article. One of the many I read and think why should I read
another article about this? I already know what they say. I've already scanned
the universe and the even bigger internet of all those articles. I already know
the plotting points to get myself to get up, go, and do. And then something
happens.
