Set the timer

I am motivated today to continue house projects.  The dining room table has always needed refinishing so I must clear a space and clean out the cellar in order to work on the table.  That little voice in my head says, "Oh relax, you can start another day."  Why does the cellar accumulate so much junk?  It is the place all unnecessary stuff goes when straightening out our living space.  I am reminded of the saying, " How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time."  Fighting the lazy mood I often have, doing some other chore to avoid that cellar all come into play.  My solution?  I set the timer for one half hour or even fifteen minutes and start.  For some reason, I want to continue when the timer rings.
