Don’t complain about it 

If something has to be done don’t waste time complaining about. Start getting the work done.

If you come in with the mindset that it’s going to suck, it’s going to take so much time, it’s so boring, etc. it’s going to take you twice as long to do it. 

Instead of spending energy on complaining about it spend time completing the project. Complaining won’t help get the project done faster.

It goes back to the theory of eating the frog first thing. Do the thing you least want to do and everything after that seems easy.

It doesn’t necessarily mean doing the hardest thing first but instead doing the thing you perceive to take the longest.

I’m reality it could take you 30 minutes when you thought it would take 3 hours. 

The main thing that matters is that you get it done. 

Most of the time it’s a lot easier than you think and never as bad as you had imagined.

It starts with being aware of your complaints.

When you recognize your hesitation or reluctance to do a specific tasks ask yourself why is this going to be so bad?

It could be you think it’s going to take long or it’s boring or it’s not a top priority right but in most cases it’s because this specific task will push you outside of your comfort zone.It will challenge you to do something different. 

It’s always intimidating doing something for the first time. You don’t want to screw up. You don’t want to look stupid. You’re worried you’ll be judged. It won’t be so bad.

Stop complaining about having to do something and instead get it done.
