In a therapy hour yesterday, I suggested that somebody spend an hour a day taking care of a task they’d been avoiding — cleaning up and organizing their home. This person had tried breaking down the overwhelming job in other ways, and those hadn’t worked.
I like to take my own advice, so I am going to spend an hour a day taking care of tasks I avoid like
- doing my taxes,
- filling out other forms,
- contacting bureaucracies,
- calling people I don’t know,
- risking failure or rejection,
- talking to unpleasant people,
- organizing closets, and
- throwing away things I don’t need.
As usual, spending an hour a day blogging is helping me face the day ahead.
I spend at least an hour a day walking, taking photos, and tweeting.
Here’s “The Working Hour” by Tears for Fears (allegedly the best song with an hour in the title):
How might you spend an hour a day?
I spend much more than an hour a day giving thanks for all I have, including wonderful readers like YOU.
