How do I do tasks that I really hate and I usually end up avoiding and delaying to finish?

Go on Fabulous! They have tasks you can do. And when you press Fabulous moment then it won’t let you get off the task. The only thing you can do is snooze it. But it’s very hard to do that for me because I love Fabulous so much, it makes everything I do worth doing. And they even give you little tips on how and why you should do some of those things.

Consistency and grace. It’s true that practice makes perfect. You have to at least try and attempt the task once. Even if you chip away very little on the task, at least it’s a start. Build up from that and keep going. I also say grace, because sometimes we criticize ourselves harshly. With a negative mindset, of course it’s going to prevent us from finishing. Be positive and grateful that you are trying and moving forward completing the task. There will be setbacks; it’s fine. But keep moving forward.

Always try and to start out with the most challenging task of the day. Completing or progressing with this task will give you a sense of great accomplishment and drive you towards solving the next one.

I’m a believer in lists, I like to check things off too. Break a task into smaller segments. If you need to clean out a closet for example set a timer and work for 10 minutes. Reward yourself with a positive saying or 10 minutes of something you like to do. Keep doing it in these segments and it will get done.

I am a really bad person to ask. I usually find myself doing this too. What I do is I force myself to do the task and then halfway through out the task I find myself to hate it more I take a break (no phones) I meditate, I read short poems, I take a short walk, but I do things that distract me but make me more happy about the task that makes me feel bored and frustrated. And when I get back to the task i feel more happy.

Make it a compulsory habit. Just like you brush your teeth in the morning without liking the act and also without realising that you put in efforts to do it daily.

Time youself! When I realized I spent more time suffering about washing dishes than the time it took me to do it I decided it wasn’t worth it!

I found that using the pomodoro technique is extremely helpful with getting myself to start tasks that I am procrastinating. Essentially what you do is set a 25 minute timer, and for that time you focus on the task at hand. Most times starting a task is hard because it feels like what we need to do can seem really difficult or impossible, but by setting a timer and telling yourself that "hey, I only need to work for 25 minutes" it makes it easier to get started. For me, once I get started, the timer almost doesn’t matter anymore and I just keep working past it until the task is finished. Setting the timer then ends up being just enough to convince my brain to get started. And even if you don’t finish the task you will have gotten more done in the 25 minutes than had you not started at all.

Try to associate something you love with the tasks you hate. For example, listen to your favourite songs when doing the dishes or exercising! Or a little reward every time you’ve completed a task you hate.

The key is associating those tasks with good feelings. Think about how hard it is to them and how strong you are when you do them. They are difficult only because you are associating very negative emotions to them, but this can be changed!
