there been so many times in my life where I knew I needed to do something and then I filled all this extra time not doing that thing.

And then the moment I did it, I was like, wow, that took way less time than I thought it was going to take.

by this exact same point. And so thinking about it from that perspective, I've tried to eliminate

as much time between I think I should do this thing and beginning doing it. And I think you get this positive

reinforcement cycle that occurs every time you start, I call it pulling the thread. It's like,

I just need to start pulling the thread. And then all of a sudden what feels really unknown

becomes very tangible. And you're like, oh, I understand the six problems I have to solve

to do this big thing. But now I know the problems and then it feels like you can wrap your arms around it,

and then you can start taking it one bite at a time.

The same thing works in reverse as well,

that when you put something off, it makes putting it off more manana, manana, manana.

indication of our personal power in our lives. And so that has helped me basically think,

don't be a powerless bitch. Like just shrink the gap. And I think that's why a
