It's time: #1 - bills & receipts

Yes, you've got a pile of official papers to go through, don't you? Maybe it's just balancing the checkbook, maybe it's student loan applications, maybe it's a mix of mail that may or may not require action.

Put on some good music, grab a glass of water, sit down and plug away at it for 75 minutes.

Yep. Today.

This is it. It's time.

Attacking the bills/receipts is definitely on my plan for today, but for 15 minutes, not 75. On tasks I hate, the only way I've found to get myself moving is to tell myself that I can stop after 15 minutes, rather than trying to plow through until I'm done. I'll never start if I feel like I have to do that. (The funny thing is, I might end up working on it for over an hour anyway, but definitely not if I tell myself I have to.) Rebellious, much? :)
