Today we're talking about how to do hard things, how to actually make yourself do all of that stuff that you know you should be doing, but you definitely don't want to do, whether it's dishes, laundry, growing a business, going to the grocery store.

I don't know what you have to get done, but today I'm going to share how you can make yourself do it. Hey Clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast. Today we're talking about doing hard things and how to force

yourself to do the things that you know you should but you don't really want to. And it's not so much

motivation. I'm not going to talk about ways to motivate yourself or

borrow motivation from other people. We've talked that to death. Today is a little bit of tough love.

It's about parenting yourself. It's about like suck it up buttercup, you have to do this. It's

non-negotiable. You're a freaking adult. It's time to do it. And this is honestly how I talk to myself a lot and it's

how I need to talk to myself a lot I think I spent the majority of my youth and teenage years and 20s sort of rebelling against the idea that

you can't tell me what to do. You're not going to put me in a box. I left home at 15. I left home at 15 because I didn't

want to have to listen to my parents rules. So I really resisted the idea of adulting and this like stereotypical work that we're supposed to do in order to be a good responsible adult. I resisted hard, I left home at 15 and And even when I got my own place,

and even when I got married to Joe,

everything just seemed harder for me

than it did for other people.

That was my perception. Doing the dishes was hard.

Doing laundry was hard. Keeping up on things was hard. Paying my bills on time was hard.

Managing my paycheck, like not running out of money before my next paycheck came was something

that just seemed so ridiculously hard for me.

All these aspects of I guess being a grown-up I struggled with and I'm seeing something though

something so fascinating is that it's only hard because it's new and so I'm part of
