Very often we have plans and tasks that are important only for us, not others. While working on these tasks, we tend to easily postpone them, especially when others ask us to help them with something that is not even important for us.

Why are we so easy to postpone our own even important tasks? The answer is very simple: to postpone our own task we have to contract only with ourselves - it is easy and does not require begging somebody. While trying to avoid others' tasks, we have to start an unpleasant conversation. That is why contracting with oneself is much easier. Quite often our own laziness is the main initiator and the winner of such a conversation. For example, you have plans to complete some of your own tasks early in the morning on a free day, but in the morning your laziness asks you to postpone or even cancel the tasks and you agree easily. But what if the task was issued by your boss? Can you postpone or cancel it so easily? Of course not - in such cases it is often better to complete the task than to start negotiations about postponing or cancelling it.

But how can you make your own tasks easier to complete than negotiate to postpone or cancel them? Use this simple technique: just involve others in your own tasks and plans. Try promising others to do something even if it is important only for you. Modify your own plans to involve your relatives or close friends. Talk about your plans and things you are doing with your friends and family. When other people are involved in your plans and tasks, you feel that you are obliged not only to yourself. That is why it is much harder to postpone or cancel the task because it becomes not only your own task. Do not fear to tell others about what you are going to do and you will notice that your level of motivation is rising.
