Wave of Motivation

Once you’ve got a rhythm going, move on to the next thing. And then the next. Eventually you need to start paying attention to deadlines and urgency, but as long as you’re not totally disregarding those things, you’re fine. You’re crossing things off your list, you’re winnowing down your inbox, you’re setting things in motion for future projects, whatever.

This is especially useful if there’s some Big Complicated Thing that you keep putting off because it seems like a huge pain in the ass (or because you’re awaiting the mythical “right moment” to dive in). Force yourself to get started on it—with the option to immediately abandon it if you want to—and see what happens. Whenever I finally tackle a project I’ve been dreading, it’s pretty much always easier than I expected it to be. And on the rare occasions it isn’t—when I’m like “oh yeah, I remember why I’ve been avoiding this for so long”—I’m still grateful for the opportunity to do it piecemeal rather than in one agonizing burst of activity right at the deadline. Once you’ve started chipping away at a massive undertaking, it becomes less massive, and therefore less intimidating.
