How To Start The Task You've Been Avoiding (In Two Minutes)

How To Start The Task You've Been Avoiding (In Two Minutes)

The task you're avoiding right now probably feels bigger than it actually is — not because it's hard, but because you're picturing the whole thing at once instead of the next small step.

This episode walks through a specific two-minute reframe: naming the one literal next motion — dialing the number, opening the document, sending the text — instead of the abstract version of the task that's been sitting in your head. It's a small shift, but it's the difference between circling something for another day and actually starting it.

Use it on whatever you're putting off right now. It takes less time to do than it did to hear about.
