Just Do A Half-Assed Job
I learned a little trick from the wise world of "The Simpsons". If there is any chore you don't want to do, just do a half-assed job. For example, you could wash your parent's car with rocks or you could let the dog lick all the dirty dishes in the sink.
I have extended this piece of wisdom to all areas of my life. From homework to financial planning, this is the philosophy that keeps me in motion. If I didn't have the option of doing a half-assed job, I may never work on anything ever again. I'd be content just to sit in a lazy stupor for the rest of my life.
What surprises me the most about this tactic (particularly in work situations) is how often it passes for pure genius.
