You First

When you're gonna do something that you probably have to do, but you somehow can't find time to pursue your dreams after doing them, then do the opposite.

Instead of making that lame spreadsheet about extremely boring stuff first, why not do something that will help fulfill your dreams or at least something that matters to you more.

Instead of trying to do something where someone else benefits from, why not help yourself first?

Instead of spending on things that you won't use, why not invest first? The salesman will be pissed off, but you need to prioritize.

Instead of crunching all those numbers for your work, why not write that novel first? You can probably do it later.

Do this for your own sake, because after you did those, you're probably tired. Instead, do what you want to do and they will shout and force you to finish their work. You have more motivation by that time. Just do your work first, only you can motivate yourself. They'll motivate you to work for them.
