TOO MANY OF US FAIL because we delay tackling the difficult jobs that would win us recognition. We are held back by simple laziness, which produces a kind of permanent inertia if allowed to fester. The trick is to use it, to transform a negative quality into a positive reinforcement.
Say you have a big project, one that will take several hours. Tell yourself that when it’s done you can be lazy again, that the only thing preventing you from enjoying your laziness is the project. Then attack it as if it were the enemy, get it out of the way, and give yourself a spell of earned laziness.
Once you have developed a capacity for turning yourself on and utilizing your full energy briefly, you can go on to use it for longer periods. The trick is to put yourself in touch with it in the first place. Once it’s been tapped, you soon discover it is an inexhaustible resource.
And remember:
When you set out to do something, complete it. Energy thrives on achievement and declines as things drag on. If you start your morning indecisively, or with a failure, you are likely to continue the day on the same note, with a consequent ebb in energy.
