1. Don’t think about it that much

One way to deal with the task is to put your mind elsewhere and not think about it that much. Try not to think actively about the task before it actually happens. You're wasting your energy on to something, that you don’t need to focus on right then。

不要想太多

應對煩心任務的一種方法是把注意力轉移到其他事情上。除非事到臨頭，否則不要提前想著它。否則你就是在浪費自己的精力。

2. Find alternative ways to do it

Another great way of tackling the task is to find alternative ways to do it. For example, if you hate cleaning your home, you may want to think different ways of handling the task – like cleaning it room-by-room, cleaning it by starting from a living room first (if you have started from a kitchen normally) and so on。

不走尋常路

另一種應對的方式是發現不同的做事方

法。如果你痛恨打掃房間，那么你可以探索一下打掃房間的新方法：是一個屋子一個屋子的打掃，還是從起居室開始打掃(如果你一般情況下是從廚房開始的話)?

3. Do it as soon as you can

As soon as you get the irritating task done, the better. Once it’s off your mind, you can put your focus and your energy to other things instead。

越快越好

令人煩心的任務，越快完成越好。一旦你不用想著它了，你就可以把注意力轉移到其他令你愉快的事情上了。

4. Break the task into small pieces

In order to make the level of entry lower and prevent procrastination on that task, break it into smaller pieces. For example, if you have to write a report, you could make a decision to write 3 pages of that report every day. Alternatively you can decide that you will work on the task at least 1 hour per day。

分解任務

為了讓你能更容易的開始一項煩心的工作，而不是一拖再拖，你需要分解工作。比如要完成一份報告，你可以每天寫3頁。或者你可以每天花1個小時在這份報告上。

5. Praise yourself for starting the task

Remember, as soon as you get started with your tedious task, you have already done something that most people are not willing to do. Starting is the hardest part – especially when a boring or irritating task is concerned。

自我表揚

要記住，一旦你開始著手一項煩心的工作，你就已經做成了一件大多數人不愿意做的事情了。萬事開頭難，煩心的事更是如此。

6. Remember your past experiences

Everyone has tackled tedious tasks before, but do you remember, how you have felt afterwards? I don’t know about you, but almost every time, I have felt very good about myself for completing the task. When a boring or irritating task arises, focus on the good feeling you have had before – when you did complete the task. That good feeling helps you to get started with the task and pull it through easily。

善于回味

每個人都完成過煩心的工作，但是你還能記得當初完成后的感覺嗎?我不知道你，但是我每次完成之后，感覺都棒極了!當一件令你討厭的工作到來時，想想你曾有過的那種棒極了的感覺吧。這會讓你盡快開始，并且順利搞定一切。
