The two-minute start
Any task can be reduced to a version small enough to begin right now.
The idea
Any task can be reduced to a two-minute version that gets you moving. Open the document. Put on the shoes. Write the first sentence.
Why it matters
Big tasks feel heavy because we picture the whole thing at once. A two-minute start bypasses that picture. It turns "write the report" into "open the file and type a heading," which the mind accepts without a fight.
The shift
From measuring tasks by their total size to measuring them by their entry point.
Try this today
Take the task you have been avoiding. Write its two-minute version on a sticky note. Do that version now, then decide whether to continue.
Reflection question

Write your answerPart of: Build discipline, Stop procrastinating
Keep going
Motion before motivation
Action, even small and clumsy, produces the feeling you were waiting for.
Courage is a small step
Confidence is built from evidence. Small brave acts are how you collect it.
Done beats perfect
A finished imperfect thing teaches you more than a perfect thing in your head.
