Continuing to think about the steps indicates a weakness. Motivation goes away when we can't do something well. We lose interest and find excuses not to avoid doing it. Your task consumes all your energy, and none is left for thinking about the future. I just can't do this anymore.
Top producers report that pressure and stress often create more energy and renew motivation.
This frees you from the work, and also the worry and guilt which were byproducts of forcing yourself to do it. Note that this is different from typical delegation where tasks are reassigned without regard for skills. Find and use the tools that work best for you to manage your specific weaknesses. Find different ways to achieve your goals. If you think in pictures, draw your ideas for others, instead of talking about them.
