We look at them and immediately feel dread, frustration, overwhelm, regret, or resistance. Sometimes we procrastinate. Sometimes we push through anyway while feeling miserable the entire time.
What now?
Many people force themselves through those tasks because they believe discipline is the only answer. Sometimes that works, but it often drains a huge amount of energy. Yet those tasks are often important and tied to the success we want to create.
