In the Mood

“I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that.
Your mind must know it has got to get down to work. ”
Pearl S Buck

Do you wait until you are in the mood to work? Are you ever actually in the mood to work? Usually there are much more interesting diversions just waiting to distract us. It is easier to be in the mood to watch TV than it is to be in the mood to work. This is especially true if your work is not something you enjoy because you are very good at it. Some of us would rather do just about anything other than our work. Some of us prefer to put off doing our work for as long as possible.

If you wait until you feel like getting down to work, chances are you'll be waiting for a very long time. You need to take control and tell your mind that it is time to get working. You must simply decide to start working and commit to it. Just get started. Once you get started, it will be more and more easy to continue and before you know it, your work will be done. You'll feel much better when you have kept your promise to yourself to do what you know you should, and when you get your work finished promptly because you started promptly.
