Thanks for sharing, I love this :)

Yeah, so I only work "properly" for a few hours, and then I'd say I am gentle with myself the entire rest of the day. That's why I put all the "don't want to do, but need to get done" stuff in the first part. Then I'm chill for the rest of the day!

I got this idea from Brian Tracy's concept of "Eat That Frog" (and book of same title). "If you have to eat a live frog, it doesn't pay to sit around and look at it for very long."

I found the same principle applies in life in general. Once I've decided to do something I'm avoiding, I just have to jump into action right away, before the moment of hesitation can grow into a mountain of dread.
