When my neighbors in the country needed to put in a new
milk vat, which requires sawing a section out of the barn and installing a huge
steel drum, they set a date and called a lot of neighbors. The wives fried
up a batch of chicken while the men welded and lifted and hammered. Afterwards,
everyone sat outside a picnic table, ate chicken and drank beer. They all
had a great time and got the job done. And the crew knows that my neighbor
is available whenever they need him in return.
You can do the same with your
must-do-but-can’t-get-started chores Call in your friends and create a work
party to help you clean your closets or organize your receipts. Feed them,
and play me music. They’ll give you the courage you need to tackle the job,
and it will be done before you start to waver in your resolve.
