I treat these like bandaids; just do them immediately so they’re out of the way and I don’t have to think about it anymore. Because I sure as hell won’t think about it anyway, and if I don’t do them that means I will forget about them. lol
I think i’ve figured out how to do it. The trick is to just have an automation hyperfixation then make automated to-do lists. If you do it just right, you’ll trick yourself into feeling compelled to check off the tasks so that it can repopulate every day. Sneak in the manageable tasks kind of like when you hide your dog’s medicine in a slice of cheese.
My dog does this with heart worm chew that she goes bananas for. But the flee pill is something she will spit out after eating the cheese. I have to pretend that I’m trying to take the cheese from her mouth to get her to eat it as quick as possible.
The trick is to realize you also have tomorrow to accomplish your tasks. Much like Hilbert’s Hotel, you can simply shift your infinite stream of deadlines back one day to make room for today’s tasks on tomorrow’s agenda. Boom.
