Where We Are

 

The sooner we get started in making valuable use of our time, the more fully we’ll live our lives. And, as we’ve seen, getting started doesn’t have to be hard. We can design our environment so it naturally impels us toward our goals. Once we realize that it only takes a second to get going, we can simply will ourselves through procrastination. Or we can make the task so fun that we won’t feel hesitant at all. If that doesn’t work, then a little fear, a good story, or the productive use of our imagination can all help.

Once we’ve gotten going, though, we’ll face a whole new challenge: the distractions set before us by others.
