Overcoming Inertia - How to Just Get Going on Stuff
- by kronoz
I wondered whether you guys could help me - I have a big problem with overcoming inertia, i.e. how to just get started on a project/work when you simply feel the inertia of not being in the right 'zone' to do work such that
it really becomes pretty damn tough to actually get on with what you want to do.
Forgive me quoting my blog post where I try to express the problem as best I can:-
The problem is that it feels so damned difficult to exert the force required to shift from one mode to another, so much so that you find it almost inconceivable to do so at the time. You need to force yourself somehow, or at least find some sort of hack to trick yourself into it.
Do you guys have any ideas/hacks as to how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance, and hopefully the community feel this question is valid for stack overflow (I have set it community wiki due to its fairly subjective nature.)
