You face the hard thing first today

You sabi which task e be. You know am before your eye even fully open well well, because e don dey there when you wake up, the way e don dey there for days now. The kettle dey do im slow build. Whole morning dey available and na only you go decide wetin go enter the front of am. That decision go make the rest of the day easy or hard pass wetin e suppose be.

Steam dey form small small for window. Chair wey dem pull comot small from last night. That kain quiet wey dey when room never ask anything from you. Your bag dey where you drop am. Outside, person dey scrape something, no dey rush, and na strange kain company sound.

You don dey push am down the list, and every push don cost you something. To postpone no free at all. E go feel like say e free the moment wey you do am, because the bill go reach you later, for currency wey you no go quick connect to the decision, but you don pay for every hour wey you delay with small small fear wey dey run for background, with evening wey never relax well, with the small tax wey open matter dey collect from everything else wey you try enjoy. If you count am well well, the avoiding don already cost you pass wetin the task for cost you.

Here na the part wey run against wetin e feel like. You don dey treat the fear as warning say the task big well well, so you dey wait until you get enough energy to face something big. But the fear no dey measure the task. E dey measure how long the task don dey open, meaning say every day wey you wait dey make the thing feel bigger without am actually becoming bigger, and you go end up need more courage for less work. If you do am early, na the correct price you dey pay instead of the one wey don inflate. Na why first cheaper pass later, and e no get anything to do with willpower.

So the hard thing go first this morning, before inbox, before feed, before anything wey dem design to be easier pass wetin e be. To finish am no be the assignment. To open am and stay twenty minutes na the assignment, because to open am na the part wey don dey carry all the weight.

By the middle of the morning, the heaviest thing for your list go don pass finish. Everything after am go dey lighter. That na better way to spend Tuesday, and e dey fully within your reach from where you dey sit right now.
