But it's hard to muster any enthusiasm when there are tedious chores to be done, so how can I control my lack of focus and knuckle down to what really needs to be done? One idea istemptation bundling – doing two activities together – one that is boring but essential and one that you enjoy but isn't so productive. Planning is essential too and we should neverunderestimate how long things will take us. However, Dr Catherine Loveday from Westminster University warns us about a 'planning fallacy' thinking we can get something done quickly. She says "We never seem to get any better at judging time in the future and how long things will take us."
Maybe for now, I'll make a cup of tea, and ponder on these thoughts before I crack on with some important tasks – anyway, there's always tomorrow.
