This is perfection

One thing that helps me is thinking of the smallest possible first step, then committing to doing that thing alone. For instance, if I’m having trouble getting myself to write something, I might tell myself to just make a few bullet points of things that need to be included or write a single unedited paragraph. If I’m having trouble studying something I want to study, I might tell myself to make/go through one flashcard. Usually I end up writing more than a few bullet points/that one paragraph and doing far more than one flashcard.
