If I can’t bring myself to get around to an important task, such as filing a tax thing or making a doctor’s appointment, I invoke my nuclear option: I give my best friend three hundred dollars in cash and tell her to spend it if I don’t prove to her that I’ve done the thing by a certain date and time.

Anyone try this? Sounds fruitful.

I prefer to accept that I'm not going to do some stuff and it's OK. I treat myself kindly and with gentleness. When I am feeling strong and positive thats when I attempt to do the things that got away. Forcing myself to do tasks has never worked well.
