Random Tip Week: How to start anything (big) in five minutes

Take out a sheet of paper.

At the top of the page create a title for your project.

Examples:

Save for a house 

Train for a marathon 

Write the Great American Blog Post 

Below the project title, answer this question:

What is the easiest, smallest step I can take toward this goal?

Write it down.

Schedule that into your day — or your next day if you are doing this at night, you owlish thing.

You’re on your way.

Keep asking that question . . . .

. . . and scheduling the next step into your day.

. . . and build from there.

It’s almost inevitable now — can you feel it?
