    Just do a small fraction of what needs to be done. If I commit 1-2 minutes to the task I’ll likely do more once I actually get going.

      I was frozen yesterday at the beginning of my work day. New job, too much complexity, overwhelmed, and I just wanted to avoid at all costs.

      Finally I decided I had to un-freeze myself so I found my big to-do list and one item was “call this person and get their email address”.

      Rest of the day I was able to keep moving, and I felt so much better.
