Ask Your Question
The more specific you are, the more useful my answer will be. "I procrastinate" is hard to answer. "I procrastinate on starting creative projects because I'm afraid they won't be as good as my vision" — that I can work with.

Reader Question
"I know exactly what I need to do, but I just can't make myself start. What's wrong with me?"
Nothing is wrong with you — and I mean that. Starting is genuinely the hardest part of any task, not because you're broken, but because your brain is wired to avoid uncertain outcomes. The moment you begin something, you open yourself up to the possibility of failure or judgment. So your brain helpfully suggests you wait until conditions are better. They never are.
Here's what actually works: don't start the task. Start a two-minute version of it. Open the document and write one sentence. Put on your running shoes and walk to the end of the driveway. Send one email. The goal isn't progress — it's getting past the starting barrier. Once you're in motion, momentum does the rest.
