My mother taught me this in life, and it follows in work
---tackle the task you hate hate the most. It's downhill from there.
I'll add my own thing to this. I would give in to rejection, watching a soap, eating a candy bar, etc. Then I had to pay a daycare bill. I had to cover it with what I brought it. So I started a mind game that every time I got rejected, x amount of queries had to be out the same day. I started selling like gangbusters. Great lesson.
This is a definite "JUST DO IT" field. Absolutely no one is out there waiting for you to mail in your next idea. If you want it, you have to make it happen.
