A bit of a harsh title but this is what I found myself saying when I realised I was worrying far too much about pretty much anything and everything!

You could also use something a little less in your face, like “If it’s important do it, if you’re not doing it, then is it really important?”. I would find myself getting all of a fluster over everything I had not ticked off my never ending list of things to do. I would end up feeling frustrated and convince myself that I’d not achieved anything I had set out to do.

Then I started saying to myself “If it really is important, make the time to allow it to happen”. If it’s still not happening for you, have another look at it. You may find that actually there is a conflict of interest there and your sub conscious is actually doing a useful job for a change! Instead of letting you waste endless hours on a task that actually won’t move you forward, your sub conscious makes you forget it, schedule something over it, or just down right avoid it!

Have a think, is it really going to give you the result you hoped for. Do you really have to do it the way that you first set out. Is there a more suitable day to be doing the task. Finally have you allocated far too little or too much time to the task at hand?
