I start with the smallest, actionable step. And then I don’t beat myself up if I can’t do more- it’s basically figuring out what the smallest thing you can do to make things better is, and then doing that. If I need a shower, what can I do to make it as easy as possible. Then I plan to do the bare minimum but if I find more motivation as I’m doing the task then great! I can have a full shower. If not, well I’ve only committed to doing the bare minimum so if I need to be in and out in 5 minutes that’s ok too.
