Stuck at Step 1? You’re Not Alone — But There’s a Way Out

Ever noticed how a simple project task — maybe preparing a status deck, manually consolidating updates, or drafting a risk mitigation plan — suddenly turns into a mental roadblock?

Instead of starting, hours get spent exploring automation tools, searching for templates, or building a business case for process overhaul.

When all that was needed? Just to begin.

It’s not about rejecting better solutions. It’s about recognizing when the real blocker isn’t the task — it’s the overthinking.

The Real Problem?
Often, it’s not the size or complexity of the task that holds people back.
It’s taking the first step.

Once that happens, the fog lifts. Momentum builds. Clarity follows.

A Thought Worth Keeping
The best way through a problem is often through it — not around it.
