A simple shift, to alleviate stress, bring more joy

When you do activities you enjoy for example when watching a good movie.

Although you do want to eventually watch the end, the primary goal is watching the movie itself.

So likewise, when you do a task, don't let the primary goal be to complete it.

Let the primary goal, be doing the task itself.

This way you'll stay present, and will be less worried and concerned about when the task itself will be completed.

Completing the task is still a goal, just like finishing the movie, but it'll be a secondary goal.

Journey > Destination

Process > End product, or goal
