Resistance fighter
Do you every have a task to do which you keep on putting off? I know I do. I have one in particular where the problem has got a bit beyond simple procrastination and I feel positive resistance to doing the job. The silly thing is that this is some simple admin which I really want to get out of the way (because then I can stop even thinking about it).
After a little while wrestling with this problem (and experimenting with various bits of elementary psycholgy and self-motivation), I think I've got it licked, but we'll have to wait and see if I actually finish the darned thing. As always the hard part seemed to be getting started. Once over the initial hump the trick is to keep going!
