Business 60 July | 2021 I Don't Want to Do It ere are a lot of things we put on our "to do" lists (or someone else puts on our lists) that we really do not want to do. If you find yourself continually ignoring the same task, ask yourself a few questions. • Can I delegate this to someone else? ere may be someone who enjoys the task more than you or can possibly get it done more quickly. If that's the case, delegate. • Does the task really need to get done? We often put items on our lists that we would like to do. Wouldn't it be nice if … ? However, it's not critically important, and we would rather spend our time doing something else. If this task is something you can live without, take it off the list. • Can I get some help? ere may be something on the list you do not want to do but it's also not something you can delegate. is one comes down to motivation. We all know how to exercise, right? But we don't always do it. We can't delegate it to someone else, and it really is something we need to do for our health. So how do we get motivated? We ask for help. We can hire a personal trainer or enlist the help of a friend who also needs some motivation to exercise. Either way, you now have to set up an appointment with someone else to exercise. It's much harder to slack off on your commitment when another person is counting on you to show up. I Don't Know How to Do It We often look at the end result of what we are trying to do and think, "How the heck do I even attempt to get there?" It's a great question, but don't let it discourage you. Ask a few follow-up questions like these: Do I know someone who has already done this or something similar? If so, ask him or her for guidance. Can I find information online about how to get this done? If so, do a little research by reading and/or watching a video about it. Is there someone to whom I can delegate even a portion of this task? If so, contact him or her immediately. Delegation may mean paying someone to get the task done, but that's when you need to consider the value of your time versus money spent.
