Why? Well, has it gotten done other times you’ve put it on your list? If not it may be because its too big, too daunting and not specific enough to allow you to really take action on it. I recommend that you say something like this to yourself: “tackle the pile of papers on the kitchen counter” “go through one drawer in the file cabinet and purge unnecessary papers” “get to the bottom of my desk” In addition, I recommend that you also add:

Once you get started and you can actually see some progress being made, it is usually pretty motivating and you may want to keep going.
