I don’t know where I heard it, maybe it’s just a pithy saying, maybe it’s more profound with some history behind it. Regardless, I’ve always had success with: “Begin. The rest is easy.”

To solve it, I made myself more "vulnerable" through a few undertakings. Then beginning and doing some work everyday is the only way out to not fail.

Then, as the idea weighs on me, I think, well there is no future me, him is me! So I start thinking about how I would achieve it. Then, even by touching the first steps of setting up, before I know it it's underway.
