Even ticking one small thing off my might-do list builds my confidence, and makes me feel like tackling the next thing.īasically, easier goals > hard goals if we’re struggling with procrastination. That way, finding activation energy (ie getting started) is way easier, and you stop dreading and avoiding your big tasks.
