The form you dread filling out, because it involves gathering data from various sources, can be chunked even though it is only one single task. I find best way to start is to fill in easy parts such as your name, dates and other memorized information. If that doesn't inspire me to continue completing other sections, I attach a note to form or in my daily diary indicating next step, or bit of information required for that next step. All while I keep promising myself I can postpone processing session at any time.

The other day my call display showed me a client was calling from his office during mid-afternoon. His question was not an urgent one. Knowing he has orders booked five months ahead, my question was, "What are you doing in your office during your busiest season?" His response was not unusual, "I'm just taking a break from all this paperwork that's been piling up." That is so common it inspired me to write this article for all other small business operators coping with same situation. Next, I must visit my "chunking" table.
