Episode notes

It is so easy to tell yourself that you will get to it later: after I check my email, after I check social media, let me just watch this quick YouTube video… I’ll have more motivation after I take a break, maybe I’ll just have a quick snack… And so on, and so on, and so on…

I know because this is literally the thought process I go through whenever I procrastinate, and that happens often when I don’t have the motivation to start a task. And the problem is that the getting started is often the hardest part, because once you start it’s usually easier to continue.
