Make your Master Task List. It will look overwhelming, but you are not doing all that today. Now letter them A, B, C, D for importance, keeping deadlines in mind.
* I need to get to the post office today to mail my dad something, so it gets and A.
* I need to open a change ticket between now and 5:00 Tuesday but it is very important, so it gets a B.
* I’d like to get a pedicure before the concert Sunday, but it only warrants a C.

Now look at all your A’s. Which do you need to get done first? Once you get them prioritized, start at A1 and keep going. Re-evaluate your list each day or so to see if a C has suddenly become an A.

What might work is to go through a mental exercise where you write a story of the bad stuff that will happen if you don’t start doing. What would life be like in 5, 10, 20 years if you just stay where you are now – never progressing? Would it still be comfortable? Would you still be happy? The more painful our futures look today, the more likely we are to take action immediately.

How would you mince your long term goals into chunks of achieveable small ones when you know the things you want to do at the back of your palm and it seems to come together as a vision, but in practice, it takes so much longer to complete? Long question but it sort of summarises what I am thinking right now.
