Do What You Don't Want to Do

Just Do It!

That’s my hubby’s motto, and he does what is needed without procrastination.

Me?  Not so much.

I put off things I don’t like. I hesitate on stuff I do like.

When I do what needs to be done, I feel better about myself. How about you?

I’ve done all sorts of things to help myself. Here’s a few ways I’ve tried to improve.

1.  Set goals. Yep, I’ve done that. I’ve even written them down. Sometimes they helped, and I felt good about my accomplishments.

2.  Just start with something. My desk is a good example. When I sort through the stacks, I’m proud of the clean areas.

3.  Ask someone who is good at organizing to help you. It’s amazing what these people can see that you can’t.

4.  I read a list once. It said to create habits. Well, I’ve done that, but I develop bad routines. If I start to write a blog, shouldn’t I play a game of Scrabble first? I need to keep my mind alert, don’t I?

5.  My motto these days is to do at least one thing. That might be to cook a good meal. It could mean I organize a closet. Or go to the gym. Today, I’m writing a blog.

While writing this blog, a verse came to me. It says:

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10

Solomon, the author of this verse, was correct. When we get to our destination, Heaven, there is no working or planning. But he was wrong about knowledge and wisdom. Up there, we will have plenty of that. However, while down here, we should work with all our might.

Here’ a video I did yesterday as I sat in my hubby’s truck. I didn’t want to go to church yesterday. I didn’t feel up to it, but I went, and afterward, I was happy I did.

Just Do It!
