- Make the first step tiny. Not "write the report". Try "open the document" or "write one sentence". If it still feels heavy, shrink it again until it would take about two minutes.
- Name what is in the way. Is it unclear what "done" looks like? Is it boring? Is it scary because someone will judge it? A task you avoid usually has a reason. Naming the reason takes some of its power away and often shows you the real first step.
- Do only the two minutes. Set a timer if that helps. You are allowed to stop when it rings. Often you will not, but stopping is allowed, and that permission is what makes starting possible.
- Count it. Starting counts. A task you opened is a task that moved. Notice it before you move on.
- Make tomorrow's start easier. Leave the next small step where you can see it.
