I&#x27;m a big procrastinator, but I finally found a way to get around it. Instead of thinking about the big tasks, I just allot myself a fixed amount of time that I&#x27;ll be doing something, work on it steadily during that time, and quit at the end regardless of the state it&#x27;s in. For some reason, it really makes it easier to face big important projects if I just say &quot;I&#x27;m going to spend 8 hours putting up siding today, then I&#x27;m done&quot; as opposed to &quot;I need to get that siding put up...&quot; I&#x27;ve used that trick to get tons of stuff done around my house as well as to write a book (which hasn&#x27;t been published yet because I&#x27;ve been putting it off, so I guess there&#x27;s still room for improvement).
