Just Get Started...

There's a job I’ve been putting off for months.

I have copied it from list to list.

I have ‘prioritised’ other jobs above it.

I have tried to convince myself it didn’t actually need to get done.

But yesterday I ran out of time and excuses, and I finally got started.

And the complicated bit of the job, the bit I had been dreading ?

It took me all of 10 minutes to work out.

Five decades, and I still need to remind myself that the best way to get started on a difficult task is to just get started….
