Smaller Chunks Not More Tasks
Breaking a big task into pieces is not about creating more work, it's about making each step small enough that starting feels possible. If a chunk still feels too big, break it down further.

Different tasks need different starting tricks. For mental work (writing, coding): try "just one sentence" or "just open the doc." For physical tasks (exercise, cleaning): try "just 5 minutes then I can stop." The permission to quit works better for body stuff, tiny deliverables work better for brain stuff.
