Usually, what we most fear doing is what we most need to do: a
particular phone call, a meeting or whatever the action might be.
Like Timoty Ferris says: this is the fear of the unknown.
Often, I postpone some activities by saying: "I don't feel like it" ("non ho voglia" in Italian)
Yet, doing so doesn't help at all; if anything, it creates a lot of "open mind thoughts" - that's how I call it.
Therefore, I have recently adopted a new "technique": I make a list of all the things I recognize I'm putting off. Then, I define which item/s is/are the worst for me and I accomplish it/them immediately.
The stuff I love to do I put aside which I however accomplish when I'm tired.
The only small problem is to force myself to follow this new rule. :)
I'm lazy, you know.

Tell me who is not lazy?!
Anyway, you`ve done already a lot (new rule, list), I just keep postponing the hard stuff...
RESPECT!

Well, this is more reasonable than some of that GTS stuff I've been reading on :)
