Procrastination

Start tasks you keep avoiding, loosen perfectionist rules and make the first move small enough to take.

Separate starting from judging, define what the task actually requires and create a first version that can be improved instead of endlessly imagined.

Separate urgent tasks from everything else, make one supported first move and avoid carrying the whole administrative load alone.

Identify whether confusion, fear, perfectionism, resentment or low energy is keeping you stuck, then choose a first move that addresses that cause.

Turn an intimidating task into a visible first action, handle the discomfort that follows and keep a plan from becoming another form of avoidance.

Put one idea into practice.

Choose a cue, a response and a source of support.
