A task is often the hardest part of doing it
Give task attention, and your brain begins to think of the time, energy, and resources it will take to complete = resistance

Resistance becomes procrastination
You rationalize: I can’t do this BIG task today, but I can tomorrow
Tomorrow, the process is repeated…

Need to write a blog post – Type some nonsense on your keyboard
Need to pay bills – Open one bill and look at it
Need to clean the garage – Throw one thing away
Need to call several people – Enter the number of one person

It creates momentum – Once you’ve started, it’s easier to just continue taking action
Newton: Objects in motion tend to stay in motion
