Its just amazing to me how a breakthrough can be so simple. I was talking to a client of mine this morning, and if this applies to more than one of you, you all know who you are. We were discussing putting things off that scare us.

Using blockages as excuses not to complete tasks because they scare us. We worry about them, fret over their outcome, yet we still don't complete them. They go on our back burner.

I'm just as guilty. I just recently dived into my shark pool to complete several tasks that have been looming uncompleted. They glared at me everytime I pulled up my list of todos. There blinking on my screen in red…

One day they just got to be to much to look at and I just did them. First one, then another, and they just kind of fell away. They weren't hard, sure, tedious, but not hard. And I didn't do them as perfectly as I would have liked, but they are done! I'd like to tell you my secret technique for accomplishing things your'e putting off - I'd like to but I don't have a secret. You know what it is - take the worst one off the top of the list and just do it. Don't put it down until its done. Keep doing it everyday until its done. Don't take no for an answer, just keep after it. Once its done, scratch it off the list and go to the next one. Sounds simple enough, but we do avoid them, don't we.

So what does your list look like and how can I help you get rid of those looming tasks on it?
