Creating Urgency

Taphephobia is the fear of being buried alive! It is difficult for people who earning an adequate living to break out of their comfort zone and launch their online career or achieve some other dream.What they lack is a sense of urgency or real deadlines. The trick is to artificially manufacture urgency, get busy, launch parallel projects etc. One technique I use is to jog between jobs, even menial jobs, keep busy-busy. This helps create the buzz required and sense of achievement required to get started on the important stuff. Decide to have a 5 minute frenzy where you get as much done as possible. Preferably physical things pay a bill, tidy your desk, prepare your briefcase for tomorrow. See how it feels afterwards, imagine the advantages if it became a habit. Finally, develop a sense of urgency. Pick up the pace. Move quickly from one task to another. Don't waste time. The faster you move, the more energy you will have. The faster you move, the more in control of your life you will feel and the more you will like and respect yourself.
