Stop being bored, and bundle it with your temptation!!

"How do you handle these repetitive tasks at scale?
They’re just so boring."
One of our clients, who is using our VA services, recently asked me this question.
And it is a great question because,
I have not met a single searcher who has said that they find the real joy in list-building, research, CRM updates, etc.
Everyone understands these are important but boring, so it is for our team as well.
So, I told them about something called temptation bundling.
It’s a simple concept:
You pair something you have to do (but don’t enjoy)…
With something you enjoy.
Now, how my team uses in their workflow is,
While working on these tasks, they often put on their earphone and put some work music.
Not songs, but MUSIC.
But Kuldeep, isn't it counterproductive?
Quite the opposite.
Music adds as a barrier to all the outside distractions,
As well as being in rhythm with doing the work which helps them work longer, even on boring tasks.
So, all the searchers who are caught up in doing these tasks.
You have two choices:
1. Put the work music on, go with the flow and get the work done.
2. Hire a Virtual Assistant from HireVA, and observe the work being done in flow without spending any time on it.
Do you know other methods to deal with boring tasks?
Let me know in the comments.
