I wish someone had given me this pièce of advice early in life instead of finding that out at 25. I call it the foot-in-the-door method, it makes wonders.

- ISL 4y agoBy many measures, 25 is early in life. Congratulations: you did!
- jaqalopes 4y agoSeriously, even at 30 I feel like I've barely mastered these skills!

- AlwaysRock 4y agoYup. Starting is the hardest part. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the whole thing you have to do. It's much easier to say, "Okay I'm going to open the document and title it. That's it". Often once you do that its much easier to do the next step. The other piece of advice I'd give is break tasks down. Write a paper is hard. Open a document is easy. Title the document is easy. Write a thesis is harder than those two but easier than writing an entire paper. Writing the first paragraph based on your thesis statement is easier than writing a paper. If you have things broken down into steps its much easier to have a clear step by step plan on how to move forward.
- agumonkey 4y agoThere's the 3 seconds to act too. Don't hesitate.. for positive attempts you want a fair amount of impulsivity.
