Most advice about procrastination is useless. "Just start." "Eat the frog." "Be disciplined."

Cool. If that worked, you wouldn't be reading this.

Here's what actually worked for me after 15 years of "I'll start Monday":

The problem isn't motivation — it's your entry point.

Every task you've been avoiding has a mental barrier. The bigger the task feels, the higher the wall. Your brain sees "go to the gym" and translates it to "change clothes + drive + work out for an hour + shower + drive back." That's a 2-hour commitment. No wonder you don't start.

The fix: make the entry point absurdly small.

• Don't "work out." Put on your shoes. That's it.

• Don't "write the report." Open the doc and type one sentence.

• Don't "clean the house." Pick up 3 things.

This isn't about tricking yourself. It's about breaking the activation energy barrier. Once you're in motion, you stay in motion. Physics applies to humans too.

The 2-Minute Reset:

1. Pick the thing you've been avoiding the longest

2. Find the smallest possible first action (under 2 minutes)

3. Do only that. Give yourself permission to stop after

4. Tomorrow, do the next 2-minute piece

I built an entire system around this principle. It's called stacking — and it's the foundation of everything we teach at littletolate.

If you're tired of being the person who "almost started," we built something for you.
