A way to understand starting

The Overwhelmed Starter

The whole task arrives in your head at once, and finding room for it feels hard. You want a first move that does not ask you to carry everything else.

What usually helps you start

  • Put the open loops on paper, then set them aside.
  • Choose one small physical action and hide the rest.
  • Remove one decision before adding more work.

Example

Put the unopened letter on the table and open the envelope.
