Chunking things is a great practice. Another thing I do is use the commercial time to get up and do one small thing. Since most TV shows include anywhere from 6 to 8 minutes of commercials, I find I can usually get the dinner dishes done during Jeopardy and a whole room tidied during a one hour program.
A benefit of doing this is that I’m way more aware of time and what is involved doing something. In my mind I would have guess doing the dishes would take 20 minutes. When I’ve done it, it often takes less than five. If Ava and I do it together, one washing, one drying, we actually get to yack and have time together. Bonus!
I often feel reluctant to start something because I am convinced it will take much longer than it does. By breaking it into tiny chunks, as tiny as it takes to get me off my butt and moving, I almost always stick with it longer than I thought I would and accomplish more done that I thought I would. And if I don’t, hey, I did what I said I would.
And all self esteem and confidence comes from success and accomplishment.
You can build some very impressive muscles just by starting with a two-pound weight.
