How to deal with unpleasant tasks?

There are several strategies for dealing with the tasks we don't like.

1. Do it first thing in the morning. That way you fight procrastination and the rest of the day you should feel fine.
   
2. Make the task pleasant. If you don't like cooking, try with cooking exotic food or listen music you love.
3. Reward yourself. When you finish with task, reward yourself. Meditate, socialize or do something else that you like.
4. Delegate. Is it really necessary that you personally do that?
5. Eliminate. Do you really have to do it?
   
6. Split the task. Smaller task are less unpleasant.
7. Why this task is unpleasant? Find out the reasons for your negative emotions, and fix it.
8. Use calendar and to do list. Having unpleasant task in writing somehow makes you think about task as a fact.
9. Make a habit of doing something unpleasant every day. That way you will stretch your comfort zone and less tasks will be unpleasant.
10. It doesn't need to be perfect. The task should be done. It is not necessary to be perfect.
    
11. Start with the subtasks that are not that unpleasant. Not all tasks should be done in some order. You could attack the task from the point that you find interesting.
12. Tomorrow is your enemy. Keep in mind that this task will not be more pleasant tomorrow.
    
13. Stop negative thoughts. For example you might think: "I hate responding to all those emails". The more emails the more you hate responding. If you switch that line of thinking with "I wander if there is something that I can learn from this email?" answering emails could be less unpleasant.
14. Group unpleasant tasks. You could schedule some time for doing unpleasant tasks, for example every Monday (9-11).
