We all have those tasks on our to-do lists that we dread and often find ourselves procrastinating on. Whether it's making difficult phone calls, organizing messy files, or tackling challenging projects, these tasks can be a source of frustration and hinder our progress. Waiting for motivation to strike is an unreliable approach, but by implementing consistent strategies, you can conquer procrastination and discomfort.

In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, I will be sharing tips for how you can increase your level of self-discipline and become good at accomplishing the things you don't like doing. You can't just wait for motivation to show up and overpower your procrastination or discomfort (because you'd be waiting a long time), the only reliable solution is implementing strategies and consistency into how you handle the tasks that you need to achieve.
