When we’re feeling some inner resistance to a task, we tend to put it off—check email, social media, our favorite distractions, or busywork. We all do it.

We often turn it into something bad: “I suck for not being disciplined and unable to focus. I’m not strong enough.” But it’s just a part of being human—we all have fear, doubt, and resistance built into our survival instincts.
