Feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed with tasks can be paralyzing. A useful technique is to start by doing literally anything, whether it’s a small task or a part of a larger project. Taking action, no matter how minor, helps gain momentum and motivation, allowing you to feel more capable of handling other tasks. Progress builds on itself, and action can alleviate both overwhelm and aimlessness.

Do literally anything

simple and powerful, make the wheel move first, then you ride with it, steer to direction you want

Great article, great insights. I hadn’t thought about the momentum that one gains from doing anything.
Thank you for sharing!

You can’t steer a parked car!
You should get the rubber hit the road!
And, Voila !!!
