Getting Stuff Done By Not Being Mean to Yourself

||
I’ve spent a lot of time in my life trying to force myself to do things. Really
|
||
good things. Things that are important to me. Things like meditating,
|
||
journaling, going to the gym, and so on. I set schedules over and over. (I will
|
||
rise at 5. Meditate, 530-630. Journal 630-730. Breakfast 8-9, and so on.) I
|
||
fail way more than I succeed, which makes me really, really upset. I get
|
||
angrier and angrier at myself, curse my lack of discipline, shame myself for
|
||
watching Battlestar Galactica (again) instead of writing, delve into my
|
||
psychology hoping to unearth the seeds of self-sabotage. It spirals out of
|
||
control until I either give in to lying on the couch or somehow manage to
|
||
squeeze out a day of discipline according to schedule, whereupon I exhale a
|
||
half-sigh of relief and immediately begin bullying myself to repeat this
|
||
tomorrow.
|
||
|
||
IT SUCKS.
|
||
|
||
Yesterday, I finally realized that this method would never, ever work. I was
|
||
shocked. But it never, ever has. I’ve been after myself on this score for,
|
||
what, like ten years? Had it ever worked once in that time, I asked myself. No!
|
||
I said immediately.
|
||
|
||
Now what?
|
||
|
||
I knew I had to give up trying to be disciplined in any conventional sense. And
|
||
since the definition of suffering is trying the same thing over and over
|
||
expecting a different result, I had to put myself out of my misery.
|
||
|
||
Right away, interestingly, fear swept through me. If I’m not vigilant about
|
||
making myself do stuff, I won’t do anything. And my commitment to meditate is
|
||
critical on every level. I mean, I’m a meditation teacher who writes books
|
||
about Buddhism. Shame if I turned out to be a phoney. And every writing book on
|
||
earth says you must work at the same time every day, or words will never come.
|
||
“Inspiration is for amateurs,” says painter Chuck Close. “The rest of us just
|
||
show up and get to work…” I want to be like Chuck! There has to be another path
|
||
to spiritual and creative discipline…what could it be?
|
||
|
||
The answer I came up with? Pleasure. Pleasure! The last thing I usually think
|
||
of when planning my day. Once I get all my work out of the way, maybe I can do
|
||
something fun or satisfying or just cuz. I never do stuff just to have fun.
|
||
Never. I am so not built like that. However…among the most pleasurable things
|
||
in my life are the things I’m committed to doing: spiritual practice and
|
||
writing. I love those things! I remembered that they make me happy. Maybe I
|
||
could just jump into them for their own sake, for the joy of doing them rather
|
||
than the obligation and it’s possible the whole thing would roll out just fine.
|
||
Once I remembered that my motivation is rooted in genuine curiosity and that my
|
||
tasks are in complete alignment with who I am and want to be, my office
|
||
suddenly seemed like a playground rather than a labor camp.
|
||
|
||
So I didn’t schedule myself at all. Instead, I asked myself: what do I feel
|
||
like doing? What would be fun for me? Write? OK. What is fun about writing? Oh,
|
||
it’s so cool when it just starts to flow and plus I really enjoy thinking about
|
||
things like dharma and love and creativity simply for the sake of doing so. So
|
||
start there. When you’re done, ask yourself what would be fun to do next.
|
||
|
||
Which I did. And you know what? I did all the things I yell at myself to do. My
|
||
day looked pretty much exactly like my days do when I succeed in being
|
||
“disciplined.” Only this time, it seemed effortless. I had such a light heart.
|
||
|
||
So, yes, discipline is critical, just like all the teachers say. And there is
|
||
definitely stuff that needs doing that is just never going to be fun like
|
||
paying bills and cleaning the cat box. But I suggest that instead of being
|
||
disciplined about hating on yourself to get things done, try being disciplined
|
||
about remaining close to what brings you joy. It takes a lot of courage,
|
||
actually. See what happens. Let me know.

Susan, you brought tears to my eyes. I struggle with the same thing. I will
|

take your advice and focus my discipline on what brings me joy. Terrifying,
|

but I will surely try! ♥

susan, i’ve been struggling with the same thing for the longest time too!
|

since the weather has been so great out here in NJ, this summer i’ve taken
|
||
the opportunity to follow my heart’s desire & let my routines go. yes, i’ve
|
||
had fun, i’ve been relaxed but it seems like at a price. i will try &
|

After spending a day being fairly mean to myself; mowing, weeding, anything
|
||
to keep my ass in gear…”God forbid, I sit this one out and relax under the
|
||
trees and listen to the hawks and write and enjoy a kid-free/old Dad-free
|
||
day”…anyway, I have you bookmarked and thought, let me see what Susan’s
|
||
been up to…bingo! Thanks for being in the world. I love your writing. And
|

your big heart.

This is exactly my approach to my yoga practice and it’s the heart of the
|
||
30 days of yoga (which I often think I should subtitle “A Kinder Approach
|
||
to a Home Practice of Yoga”)
|
||
|
||
So happy for you! I always say “follow your enthusiasm, follow your joy”,
|
||
and it never fails to lead me to the places where I am of most service. And
|
||
behold, as a wiser one than me once said, service was joy.

Marianne, your story is so freakily similar to my own. After struggling
|
||
with this through my entire 20s and half of my 30s, I finally realized
|
||
the source of all my angst. I called my problem “Sunday Night Dread”
|
||
and ended up making a website about it ([29]https://
|
||
sundaynightdread.com). Anyway, I had to just post and say, “Good for
|
||
you!”. It’s amazing what we can get done when we’re kind to ourselves.

I know, I know, I am off line for the month and yet, I saw your blog title
|

when I had to go on line to get this fax number for the mortgage company
|

and reading your post was like YES THAT IS WHAT I TELL everybody else. That
|
||
is exactly the question that brings the MOST relief and breakthroughs at my
|
||
retreats… and on my own personal retreats… so glad to see I am use you to
|

help me remember to ask myself what I use for everyone else. Self-trust and

Thank you so much for this post! I read it at just the right time — when I
|
||
was pondering the question, “how can I give myself permission to invite
|
||
what inspires me?” I am seeing now how it’s not about permission or
|
||
approval, but just about remembering why I LOVE what I do. Thank you!!!

That is what I have been working on as well. Working on really enjoying my

life and taking pleasure in it. Then acting out of that pleasure of
|

enjoying my life. It is very fun work. 🙂

After years of procrastinating and lack of motivation to do the good things
|
||
in my life that I want and need to do, I have recently had loads of success
|
||
with a system of rewards. I have labeled some tasks as little milestones,
|
||
some as big milestones, and some as complete project. Each time I hit
|
||
something on this list, I get a reward based on how significant an
|
||
achievement it is. Completing a project earns me a big reward, completing a
|
||
little milestone means something smaller. It is working great!

Excellent post! I so relate to the rebellion I feel when I’m doing
|
||
something because I “should,” even if it’s something I want to do. Focusing
|
||
on the joy rather than the practical benefits of a task changes the whole
|
||
feeling of it.
|
||
|
||
If even the joy of it won’t motivate me, I like the mind trick of saying,
|
||
“I’m not actually going to do yoga. I’m just going to get out my mat,” or
|
||
“I’m just going to write a title and then worry about the rest later.” For
|
||
me, so much of the trouble comes in just getting started.

I kept beating myself up. The yard was a mess, the driveway full of weeds
|
||
and my cousin was coming for dinner. I’d been looking at the ever growing
|
||
tide of green circling the house knowing it needed to be done, but just not
|
||
doing it.
|
||
Alright, go weed. As i began weeding it became a sort of simple pleasure.
|
||
Yes, the desire to clean up the yard was still present but watching each
|
||
green stem come out of the earth became so satisfying. I loved gently
|
||
pulling and voilà, the root let go of the earth and came away in my hand.
|
||
2 hours later and the place looked grand, my back was sore but ok and I
|
||
felt so good. The time was ripe for weeding so I weeded!
|
||
|
||
Where has it come from, this self-loathing? Even weirder is it seems to
|
||
effect friends and family who are the most grounded and truly seeking peace
|
||
and joy in their lives. Thanks for reminding me I’m not alone and how silly
|
||
it is to continue raging against meself!

Wow, thanks so much to all of you who came out to take a look at all the
|
||
ways we beat ourselves up for not being productive or perfect or maxing out
|
||
every second, or however you term it. Rob, your question about where does
|
||
self-loathing come from is so, so good. Where indeed?! I bet that you and
|
||
the others who have commented are seen as accomplished and dedicated
|
||
people.
|
||
|
||
And thanks to everyone who made such good suggestions (like Sue’s
|
||
just-take-the-first-step method and Matthias’ reward structure) because I
|
||
know they’ll be helpful to others.
|
||
|
||
I also feel quite heartened myself to know that I’m not alone in this. In
|
||
the days since I wrote this post, I’ve been playing with the “work for the
|
||
joy of it” model rather than “work to prove you’re not a loser” method.
|
||
I’ve had some ups and downs, but most what I notice is that to stay with
|
||
the joy method, I have to remain close to my own heart, to what I love. To
|
||
stay with the “prove you’re not a loser” system, I have to remain close to
|
||
how I think I might appear in the eyes of others. I forget my own heart.
|
||
|
||
So, a mantra to begin the day and repeat throughout: Joy is to be found by
|
||
remaining seated within myself. From this point, I can reach out to others
|
||
with genuineness.

I have some observations towards Robs (and all of our) questions of
|
||
where self-loathing comes from. In the process of raising my tamarind,
|
||
children, I notice it starts to creep in around the age of 10/11 coming
|
||
from peers at school, broader family members, any humans who are
|
||
trapped in the capitalist ‘productivity’ and ‘scarcity’ mindset. It’s
|
||
so sad to observe, and I also have to hope that the first ten years of
|
||
pure self-love have sown seeds that will remain forever blooming in
|
||
them ❤️

The problem with me is that when I ask ‘what would bring me joy
|

now?’ the honest answer is to do something useless so I still have
|
||
to rely on my inner sergeant to persuade me to do something joyful
|
||
but useful. But he’s a kinder sergeant now, thanks to you.

Yes! Self-improvement is only the other side of the self-loathing coin, so
|
||
it can’t buy us anything better. Weird how we don’t see this, but there it
|
||
is. Love how you point out that appreciation “works” so much better than
|
||
criticism. I’ll bet anybody who’s ever gotten a child absorbed in cleaning
|
||
his/her room by introducing it as a fun sorting game would agree. Joy and
|
||
genuineness and taking back your time. Now there’s a cool game 🙂

Hello Susan,
|
||
|
||
I just have to say I have had the exact experience with trying to schedule
|
||
my activities. This year I made a goal to not do that, and instead of the
|
||
creative flow being squashed, it has flourished. It’s scary to let go of
|
||
schedules and I still sometimes grasp to them. But when I manage to let go
|
||
of them, creativity seems to want to take over. Peace to you!

I just love this! I think I find myself writing a new “plan” for my days

about, oh, every 2 weeks. I always get really excited it–like yes! this
|
||
time I have a foolproof plan! Turns out only the fool part of it was right.
|
||
|
||
Your post was a definitely a light-bulb moment for me. Enjoying my life?
|

Enjoying a job I worked years to finally get and do really love when I’m

Oh Anna those lists and schedules! My notebook is full of them and I

act to myself as if it’s something I have to force down my throat and
|
||
so of course I rebel. Not doing that. You can’t make me.
|

So my love Susan for this post and for all the comments. We are hunan.

Hi Susan.This posting is so perfect… I’m at Kripalu for a weeklong retreat.
|
||
Loving every moment and made a commitment as I walked in the door to only
|
||
do what I want to do and only timed as I feel compelled. Usually I’d plan
|
||
back to back during a retreat and make sure I don’t miss a thing. I’m
|
||
blessed with not having that pressure right now. I’m journaling when I want
|
||
to, sunbathing and reading (I do have SPF) when others are taking walks or
|
||
doing group activities and I am not missing a thing. I’ve walked past
|
||
classes and said “My body doesn’t feel like that right now” and respected
|
||
it. And I’m fitting in a lot of activity…. Primarily time alone in my own
|
||
head. Grateful.
|
||
Thank you for the post. And hope you are well.

Hi, I have found, in a way, the opposite to be true, but with a difference.
|
||
Yes, in the past I would try to make schedules, but get depressed, but when
|
||
I agreed with a friend to send him a report of my time use at the end of
|
||
the day, I found the schedule life-changing and liberating. I believe this
|
||
schedule, however, should be a work of art, and ultimately aimed to be
|
||
something you enjoy.

I love this post (referenced in a UK newspaper article this weekend). I
|
||
totally agree. But how does it work for the jobs I loathe and which cause
|
||
the most angst because they don’t get done ? Eg cleaning the kitchen floor,
|
||
doing my finances and paperwork, defrosting the freezer – there’s always a
|
||
reason not to do those and I’ll never WANT to! My hunch is that the answer
|
||
lies in noticing how I feel if I continue to resist doing them – that
|
||
sticky, crunchy floor, the continuous background nag of anxiety because I
|
||
don’t know exactly where I am with my finances, being unable to close the
|
||
freezer door and having to deal with it immediately – in the end, NOT doing
|
||
the most-hated jobs causes more stress and unhappiness than getting them
|
||
out of the way. So it’s mindfulness – noticing when something is bothering
|
||
me, and happiness will be increased by not avoiding it any longer.

Thanks Susan for this amazing article.
|

|

I have also been beating myself up for not doing the things I want/need to
|
||
do (And I still am at the time of writing this).
|
||
|
||
It is quite easy to make a decision to do certain things, but once the
|
||
moment is over, everything goes away with it. Inspiration is so overrated.
|
||
|
||
I will take your advice and try to focus more on the joy that comes along
|
||
with doing the tasks. I will also try to reward myself for completing any
|
||
of them.
|

Thanks once again.

Same regarding Guardian article, here. Delighted to realize that in
|
||
retirement and my 74th year, I am happy and relaxed and centered because of
|
||
this experience of “enjoying happiness”.

In a Western led world that has been built on oppression and (fake)wars,
|
||
it’s not a surprise that it has trickled down to the individuals and how
|
||
they treat themselves.
|
||
|
||
Allah Bless you for snapping out of it and sharing the power of empathy.

I had exactly this epiphany a few months ago. I got so tired and frustrated
|
||
with my endless failure to keep to schedules or complete tasks that one day
|
||
– I just gave up. Now, as you say, I just do what I feel like doing. And it
|
||
all gets done. Even the housework and life admin. Because there’s always a
|
||
moment when I find I have the energy for the less appealing tasks. Energy
|
||
that comes from more time spent on what I love.

I too am a natural procrastinator, but I try to enjoy everything I do –
|
||
even cleaning the cooker, which is my absolute bete noire. You are so right
|
||
– things go so much better when you’re having fun. years ago I learnt to
|
||
love queuing. i would take a book or some embroidery and catch up on one or
|
||
the other when standing in line. Brilliant
