Turning [I can't do this anymore!] into entertainment and conquering it, Day 1: When you can't get moving, lower the hurdle to grass level❣
🌱A word before starting [Up to 100 characters]🌱
If I keep this up for about 30 days, I'll think I'm amazing.
I could have started at any time.
Continuing is the hardest part.
I'm not good at keeping the same structure every day, but I'll give it a try.
The reason I'm not good at it is because I gradually stop finding meaning in it myself.
✨✨Today's scary things✨✨
・5 minutes that thing to work on
・5 minutes to improve the environment
・5 minutes to do something I've been putting off
✨✨Live commentary✨✨
Don't laugh just because it's 5 minutes, you there.
Since I'm tackling something I've been too scared to touch for years, I'm lowering the hurdle as much as possible.
That's the basic rule.
First, I'm going to tackle
that thing
the biggest enemy. (Battle stations)
Thoughts that come up when I try to start
・5 minutes is completely meaningless, right?? How many hours do you think you're supposed to be doing this?!
・Isn't there something else you should be doing fundamentally?
Quiet, you lot❣✨✨✨
I'm starting.
《5 minutes have passed》
Huh? My soul didn't leave my body... did it.
Ugh... now I want to look back!
But even that is just one of the tricks of procrastination!
I know that!!!
Moving on!
Come at me.
Anything is fine now. I'll spend 5 minutes annihilating anything unsightly that catches my eye.
Gracefully❣❣ Beautifully❣❣❣
《5 minutes have passed》
Ugh... my heart is tired (*´﹃｀*)
But there's still more!
I'll finally deal with that thing I've been putting off.
Wait... huh? ...Oh?
Finished?
5 minutes... have passed!!!
✨✨Reflection✨✨
Wait, I actually did it quite easily?
How did that happen???
But the biggest enemy is still the voice inside my head.
・There's so much more to do, so doing just this little bit is totally useless.
・Shouldn't you be doing other things first??
・Huh? You're stopping already? You're nowhere near finished, right?
The ones that are especially tough are those guys who pretend to be "supporters" but actually hold you back!!
・Tell me how you feel now that the 5 minutes are up!☆彡
・You just gracefully ignored that self-criticism earlier, didn't you?! How did you do that???
Gaaaah!!!! You guys (゜-゜)
You're so noisy with all your yapping💢💢
Now! Give me my reward❣❣
Reward =
Writing whatever I want, as much as I want (lol)
After yesterday's [Parting with Self-Pity], I was reborn as 'I'm a strong girl! I'm a hard-working girl!'.
I'm Taniohime. (0 years old)
I thought of this and started it, but it's actually pretty good!!
If I keep this up, it'll be quite effective.
If I keep it up, that is.
I somehow became a different persona andovercame the parts where I usually can't get movingit seems.
Creating an atmosphere all by myself like I'm conquering something,I tackled the thing that had the thickest psychological wall and that I couldn't get started on until now.
The points are
🌱 Lower the hurdle to grass level.
🌱 Incorporate fun elements.
🌱 Keep it as simple as possible.
Let me explain a little
I think the reasons why people can't get moving vary from person to person...
✨Hurdle✨
In my case, the bar for what I consider 'accomplished' after working on something is basically too high.
The type who can't do anything because I'm too much of a perfectionist.
So I set the time to be extremely short.
・If I work on it for 5 minutes, ✅
・Just by starting, ✅
・No need to 'complete' it, ✅
...and so on, by setting some kind of scope, I make it so I can think, 'This is a piece of cake!'
✨Fun elements✨
This is a strategy to distract the chaotic child inside my head who is about to go, 'Aaaaaah, I can't do it!'
This time, while I was doing a play-by-play, a 'young lady character who is conquering something' naturally emerged (lol)
You can work while dancing, or pretend to be your favorite character; just set it up to be fun.
✨Simplification✨
It's similar to the hurdle, but this is a trick to make 'what to do' easy to understand so thatthe brain can understand the instructions more easily!
In my case, it's easier to get moving if the instructions on what to do are rough, so my task settings are things like 'anything related to tidying up is fine,' but ifit's easier for you if things are decided in detailthen you should do that!
Like 'Do XX from A to B'!
Finally, wrap it up with #PraisingMyself
😆 I did my best!
I actually did more than 5 minutes!
Getting moving is the hardest part, isn't it?
And I'm great for tackling three things.
It's such a tiny step that you might find yourself wanting to ask, "What's the point?" but simply touching upon something you've been terrified of and putting off for so long is a huge deal.
The rest is all about keeping it up! I'll do it again tomorrow too!
I'd love to do this with everyone.
