Study how long a task would take to get it done.
Do this estimation carefully. The estimation work Itself ought to be timed and if not done on time, one ought lose something.
Sometimes, you may not feel like doing this or that, but still make a choice or lose money.
A perceiver, therefore, has to dwell in this or that state to be really be successful, otherwise he or she will suffer from the effects of indecisiveness.
That is what would happen any way. You are losing time and time is money, opportunity cost of not making of a choice, a good choice that is.
It is better to rest well and be prepared for work, but doing so itself requires discipline: do it or lose it.
Sometimes, it is small thing, like failing to turn on the heat and thus sleep without a heat. As a result, the quality of the sleep might be too poor to support long productive day. So, create a rule: if I fail to create necessary conditions for a quality sleep, then I will lose this.
The tendency of the perceivers is to postpone decisions as much as they can, no decision seems to be their motto. This tendency is lost when one gets out of samadhi or fana and then it gradually comes back.
The opposite tendency is to explore no options, but choose one possibility and then hang on to it, despite the availability of other options that are better than the one chosen.
I believe perceivers are less likely to finish a task unless there is no option but to finish it. Why wait until you reach this point: place yourself in situations where you have no option but to finish a relevant task.
I now recall a friend of mine who told me long time ago that this basic principle of leaving no option to himself but a task he chose, has changed his life in ways he lacks terms and time to enumerate.
Once he makes a choice, be gets to work.
He has, therefore, adopted this dualistic view of life, either this or that, from logical point of view it cannot be this or that at the same time and in the same respect.
This is known as the law of excluding the middle.Doing so one gains clarity.
