#97: 4 Tactics for When You Don't WANNA Do the Thing

So you've made a plan.

You've separated your Decision Time from your Doing Time, to save yourself some precious energy. (See Episode #96!)

But now the moment has arrived and all your brain minions are yelling I don't wanna!

What do you do?

Today's episode breaks down FOUR killer tactics to deal with resistance in follow-through.

We cover:

  • How to establish a new set of Life Rules that doesn't require "all or nothing" for you to get stuff done
  • Why you should plan on not wanting to do stuff (instead of keep beating yourself up for it)
  • The difference between "reacting" vs "responding" to resistance (that's also the difference between "avoiding/procrastinating" and "making a conscious decision")
  • How to get to all that Important, Non-Urgent Stuff you keep putting off
  • The value of declaring the stakes of WHAT you do and HOW you do it
  • My favorite trick for getting myself to do things I don't wanna (but really DO wanna)
  • A random personal story where I tell a Starbucks Barista I'm not weird (it's unrelated, but we go there)
