30 Take On the Hard Stuff First
Here's a short tip to close this section, and you look as if you could use a short tip. Sometimes a technique that works for you goes flat. In that case, it makes sense to try something else, perhaps even the opposite of what you've done previously (and the opposite of several of the tips already offered). I know it sounds like heresy, but battling the wily coyote named procrastination sometimes calls for some crafty moves. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. Don't get caught wearing Milk-Bone underwear.
If you have control over the order in which to tackle steps, handling the seemingly unpleasant elements first may prove to be a workable strategy for you. If you do what you like first and save the unpleasant things for last, the probability of procrastinating increases. You don't want to let procrastination prevent you from your successful conclusion. When you handle the unpleasant tasks first, you diminish the possibility of procrastination becoming an issue.
“Hard work is often the easy work you did not do at the proper time.” — B ERNARD MELTZER
Hereafter, anytime you have control over the order in which you tackle steps on the way to achieving a task, attempt to handle the seemingly unpleasant elements first. If you don't, and if you practice the converse — doing what you like to do first, and saving the unpleasant things for last — the probability of procrastinating increases and your chance of succeeding is about the same as the Cubs winning a World Series in this century. Sorry, Chicago fans.
