When I have a task I am dreading—whether personal or business related—I find that estimating the time it will take to accomplish it diffuses the dread, because I realize it will take minimal time to scoop out the litter box, send out that email, etc. etc. As usual, you are spot on, Laura!
I can spend a lot of time thinking about a task I dislike and putting it off and feeling guilty… and that takes a lot more time than actually doing the task.
