Overcoming Procrastination with the "Next Step" question

When facing the temptation to procrastinate, initiating a distraction, or switching tasks, asking "What do I need to do next?" can help overcome it. By repeatedly asking this question, one can break down the task into easier steps, making progress more manageable and reducing feelings of being overwhelmed. This approach can be applied to various tasks, such as studying for an exam or writing an essay, by continuously asking the question until reaching a step that feels achievable.
