The lesser of two evils.
The procrastinator's creed: why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? Even the most successful people can find it difficult to start particular tasks on their to-do list, but the secret to getting things done lies in the lesser of two evils. When faced with a task that you have been putting off for one reason or another, quickly imagine an alternate task you that you find even more daunting or have an even greater aversion to starting. Suddenly you will find the motivation that you were lacking, and you will be on your way to crossing off another item on the to-do list!
