Someone said to me a long time ago “Just get off to a rough start” and that’s stuck with me.

I like this post! I can do imperfect!

#4 Sounds good as well. I’ve stopped making lists about two years ago, and my stress level definitely dropped after that.

Sounds like a good approach to me and one that I use regularly if I have been procrastinating about a task for too long. I often find that what I produce in the assigned time is sufficient to do the job with little change required. I also find that once I get started the creative juices start flowing and I am more motivated to produce quality output.

When my head is straight enough to do this, I find it does work. If I have a heavy drafting job to do at work (lawyering) I usually aim to produce something -anything – and then save it leave it, preferably overnight, without looking at it again. Come back to it after a decent interval and I am often amazed by how good the first attempt is because there was no pressure. I don’t think I have ever had to scrap it and start from scratch.

Men often take this approach to household chores, but the idea is to do it so badly that their wife won’t ask them again!
