It can be hard to get started on a project—and the bigger the task, the harder it often seems. Today, we’ll use a tool called the “Now Step” to get unstuck and start moving forward on the things that matter to us.

Takeaways:

1- There are a million different ways to procrastinate, but when we are putting off something we genuinely want, it often has to do with fear or indecision.

2- The longer we hold off on doing something, the more negative emotions—such a guilt or shame—can build, making us even *less* inclined to get started.

3- Shrinking our goals to the smallest actionable steps possible helps us start moving forward.
