Have you ever avoided a project because even the thought of starting felt too big?

Here’s a trick: don’t start the project. Just gather your supplies.

  • Working on a craft project? Just collect all your materials.
  • Have a home improvement project? Just assemble your tools and materials.
  • Need to process your taxes? Just collect your papers and stationery.

You don’t have to finish today. You don’t even have to start today. But by gathering what you need, you’re already moving forward.

Once the supplies are ready, the project feels less overwhelming, and getting started tomorrow (or whenever you schedule it for) will be that much easier.

Try it: what’s one task you could prepare for right now just by gathering your supplies?
