Sometimes you have something you need to do, but you keep putting it off. There’s a word for that; it’s called procrastination. If you’re having trouble getting started, here’s a tip: begin by carving out a small part of the job, and get started. You don’t have to finish the entire project at once, but the simple act of beginning will make you feel better about the job at hand.

 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Take the first step. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.” And that’s perfect advice for getting things done sooner rather than later.
