Most people are not lazy, but the idea of trading a big piece of time for that thing you need to get done feels like a bad trade-off at the moment. It’s easier to keep scrolling through Reddit or Twitter.
The answer is don’t think about the six hours of time you need to complete your task. Just start a five-minute timer and shut off all distractions and trade just that five minutes to get a little bit of your task done.
What ends up happening is you break the loop of avoiding the task and you feel that it is actually a good way to use that time.
Take five minutes, take five minutes now and use it every time you start feeling lazy or unmotivated throughout the day.
