How do you stop dreading going to work?
Before you leave work, write down the first thing you'll do tomorrow and set out what you need for it. A lot of dread is not knowing where you'll start, and a first move you already picked takes that part away.
Pick tomorrow's first move today.
Stop five minutes early
Use it to write tomorrow's first three things.
Start with something small
A task you can finish before the coffee's gone.
Do the dreaded one second
Not first. Not last.
Hand off what repeats
The task you dread every week is the one to give to AI.
Here's what I have to do at work tomorrow, with names and private details left out: [list it]. The one I'm dreading is [which one, and why]. Put the list in an order that starts with something small I can finish, puts the dreaded one second, and gives every task a rough time. If I left out how long something takes, ask me.
Before you paste work stuff into any AI, check what your company allows.If you dread the same task every week, that's the one to hand over. The free Lab shows you how to hand that work to Claude.
