If you don't want to do something, why is it on your to-do list?

It feels like people have multiple competing systems trying to set priorities, and this is arguing that one of those systems is the only one worth listening to.

I procrastinate for the same reason I have a backlog. Because not everything I'd like to do is urgent. But I don't experience it as some inner war with myself and I don't think the key is to totally ignore the signal from my feelings, and buy into the tyranny of the the piece of paper I arbitrarily made up yesterday.

If you feel bad about a goal, maybe it's a bad goal?

Advice is like vitamins, useful for specific deficiencies and mostly harmless for the rest of is. I'm sure there are people who need to hear the advice in this post, but I think the counterpoint that maybe your intuition about a task isn't a thing to be silenced is also worth making.

Taxes. I hate them. But they are on my todo list. Life is full of things we have to do but don’t want to.
