Count to Five and Just Do the Thing You Are Dreading

It sounds simple, but Redditor Draconax swears by this mental conditioning.

And he’s found lots of supportersin this threadas well as inContently CCO Shane Shaw.

Here’s how Draconax does it:

I count to 5.

This is a secret rule I have for myself.

Whenever I reach 5, I have to do it.

It’s a weird paradox, but it works.

And that’s what the “Count to Five” rule issimple and effortless to maintain.
