Start Before You Feel Ready

“Action turns doubt into data. Do one small thing today.”

Waiting to feel ready is a trap. Confidence doesn’t show up first—it’s the reward for getting started. The fastest way to quiet the overthinking is to give your brain something simple and specific to do.Pick progress over perfection. When you move, even a little, you collect proof that you can. That proof compounds.

1 Pick a 10‑minute task.

Set a timer and start. Momentum likes short sprints.
2 Lower the bar.

Make it so easy it’s hard to say no. Half a page. One email. A five‑minute walk.
3 Celebrate the rep.

Check it off. Track the streak. Reward the behavior, not just the result.
