THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET STARTED

Starting is not that hard, you're having a difficult time because you're so confused, you can't make a decision, you feel heavy because you got overwhelmed with the tasks that are waiting for you especially if those are huge tasks. The best way to get started and get ahead is to close everything, shut down everything. It's about clearing your mind and lessening the crowded thoughts inside of your head. Turn off the TV, hide your cellphone, close every window in your computer. You need to be focused on just one thing if you want to have that strength of starting. You can't start because there are lot of things going on with your life, you're too busy being unproductive. You think you're right because you're busy but you're not because you cannot even accomplish a simple task. The one hour task takes 3 hours because you're so consumed by different things that doesn't even make sense at all.

The key here is to have peace with yourself, give your mind a breathing room and make yourself believe that everything will be alright, forget about the time remaining, forget about the number of tasks remaining...  just do it and never stop until you're done. Just one task at a time, you can be a multi tasker but you should be ok if you can't finish things fast, your time is divided so what do you expect? If you're a multi tasker then you should be ok getting stressed a little bit because it is really stressful doing things simultaneously. Talking to a client at the phone, answering emails, playing games with your cell phone... that will never work in the long run, it will make you unproductive.

The best thing to do is shut down everything, pick one thing and focus on it. Don't answer the telephone, stop chatting with your friends in facebook, stop worrying about what are you going to eat at lunch, stop switching activities, if you need to finish something... finish it first before jumping into a new task.

Never think that you can't finish it, never think that you're running out of time, just do it and enjoy the process. If your boss is rushing you so be it, if you can't finish it is he going to terminate you? no right? if you can't finish it so be it, what matters is you give your best and you enjoy the process. Do it no matter what, if you can finish it then finish it now, never slow down, never think about doing something else because you feel that you have more time left. Focus on the task in front of you and you will be amazed with yourself, you will be surprised because you're accomplishing more things in life.

So shut down everything and pick the most urgent task, finish it with class, finish it with a flair. Even if you don't like it just do it, remember that you will feel good later once you finished it. So start now and forget about everything else, focus on the urgent task and enjoy it.
