MAKE PROGRESS FEEL POSSIBLE

Start with what feels doable

YOU DON’T NEED ANOTHER BIG PLAN

You don’t have to take on the whole task right now.

You may already know what needs to be done. The hard part is often finding a first action that feels clear enough—and small enough—to begin.

Instead of“Finish the presentation”
Try“Open the deck and name slide one”

Five simple steps to help you get moving.

Follow them in order, at your own pace. There’s no streak to maintain and no pressure to finish everything at once.
