Your mind might have a habit of telling you that the items on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/gtd-to-do-list\/\">to-do list<\/a> are far too difficult or monumental, as a way of deterring you from expending the energy on trying to achieve those tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get around blowing things out of proportion is by <strong>recognizing your tasks for what they are<\/strong>. The goal is to see beyond the illusion that your tasks are too big and too important for you to successfully tackle, and put the items on your to-do list back into perspective. Meurisse recommends looking to other people as an example and adopting the attitude that you can do most of the things that others can do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if something feels impossible to you, that might be a good reason to try to accomplish it: Imagine the boost of self-confidence that you\u2019ll experience after you achieve something that felt unattainable, whether it\u2019s stepping up to give a big presentation at work or striking up a friendship with a classmate you\u2019ve always admired.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How Can We Look at Our Tasks More Realistically?&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br>If you struggle to determine how difficult a task will really be, you\u2019re not alone. Psychologists use the phrase \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thedecisionlab.com\/biases\/hard-easy-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hard-easy effect<\/a>\u201d to describe how we often feel overconfident about difficult tasks and under-confident about simpler tasks. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/cognitive-bias-definition\/\">cognitive bias<\/a> might be one reason why we sometimes overestimate the difficulty of a task, as Meurisse describes. Researchers believe this bias comes about because we\u2019re generally bad at making accurate predictions about the future. They\u2019ve also noticed that we spend a disproportionate amount of time answering simpler, easier questions (which might translate to spending more time working on the to-do list items that you perceive as easier).&nbsp;<br><br>To more realistically assess the tasks on your to-do list, you might cultivate a little more knowledge about each task, especially if it\u2019s in an area that\u2019s new or unfamiliar to you. Following Meurisse\u2019s advice to look to others\u2019 example, you could learn about what other people have accomplished (and how they\u2019ve achieved it) to get a better idea of what it\u2019ll take for you to succeed at a similar task. This might also help you to avoid a cognitive bias related to the hard-easy effect: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/an-overview-of-the-dunning-kruger-effect-4160740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dunning-Kruger effect<\/a>.&nbsp;<br><br>This infamous bias kicks in when we routinely overestimate our ability in areas where we aren\u2019t very skilled. We often make this mistake not only because we\u2019re too confident about our own skills, but also because we fail to recognize the skills and knowledge that have led to other people\u2019s success. To conquer the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-dunning-kruger-effect\/\">Dunning-Kruger<\/a> effect, experts recommend trying to continually learn more and practice your skills. You can also make a point of asking others for constructive criticism about your performance. And you might find it helpful to consciously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/challenge-your-assumptions\/\">question your assumptions<\/a> and seek out information that might challenge your ideas.&nbsp;<br><br>Particularly if the tasks you need to get done will be difficult for you, it might be worthwhile to consciously work on your confidence, too. Therapist Amy Morin, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/products\/13-things-mentally-strong-people-dont-do-amy-morin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>13 Things Mentally Strong People Don\u2019t Do<\/em><\/a>, writes that it\u2019s important to prove to your brain that you\u2019re capable of doing difficult things. Trying something new, practicing a new skill, or even achieving something that previously felt impossible (as Meurisse suggests) can show your brain that you have the skills to do things that aren\u2019t easy. That can result in a boost of confidence, which makes it easier to keep things in perspective and take big steps toward the goals you really want to achieve.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you tend to blow things out of proportion?
