Task Vs Purpose

Coach Sall

Task = housework

Purpose = a clean and relaxing home

Task = 30-minute workout at Curves

Purpose = develop lean muscle, increase metabolism, balance hormones, burn fat, maintain joints, reduce risk of preventable disease, be Stronger, sleep better, regulate emotions, calm racing thoughts, destress, reduce cortisol, see friends, laugh, be fitter, be fit enough to enjoy life, live longer, increase energy…

For anything you feel resistance to, or simply to increase your attraction to something, get really clear on its purpose. And if you can’t get to a purpose that will propel you into action, then combine it with something else that will.

For me hanging laundry is the dullest most tedious task ever, even with a purpose clearly defined. Headphones in and a podcast or audio book on and I’m on it like a shot.

What works for you?

 

Celebrating getting it done (on a Friday night no less) even in 30° heat 😎
