Just… One more thing!

Uncategorized Jul 01, 2019

I finished up with Hamish at soccer this morning and had a phone call with Emma…

Could I pick up strawberries, passionfruit, and cream for the pavlova?

“Sure!” I said.

I went and got them, headed back home.

I walked into the kitchen and gave her the ingredients.

Oh… The dishwasher needs loading.

Can you do that too?

I jump in with Hamish and we load the dishwasher.

“Oh, actually, the pavlova isn’t enough” she said.

Can you cook a Tarte Tartin?

And you need to change your shorts, they are dirty.

And, the cream needs whipping… can you do that?

And, oh, one more thing… “I bought a new hammock kit for the cottage, can you put that up too?”

I said… “I’ll do the Tarte Tartin, cream and change my shorts…

But the hammock is going to have to wait. I won’t get that done in time”.

So I had another option.

Just say no to all of these requests.

Have a massive fight with Em.

And then deal with an ongoing feud for the next 1–3 days.

Or, I could put my mind to the side, and do the work.

I chose to do the work.

Everything except the hammock is done, and I also put a load of washing on and turned on the pool cleaner!

What I want you to see if that the effort required to actually do the work is less than the effort to resist.

This is exactly the same with your study for your FRACGP exams.

It is going to feel like doing the work is more work than not.

But come exam day, you will find that having the done the work is a lot less painful in the actual exam than not having done it.

Just get the study planned out each week and do it.

Just go.

The effort that goes into fighting yourself is better spent ACTUALLY studying.
