About Lesson

Momentum Over Motivation: If you’re struggling to start, give yourself 10 minutes. This can help overcome inertia and build focus through action.

The Power of Short-Time Commitment: Often, beginning the task leads to working longer, as the initial resistance fades with engagement.

Activity:
Pick a task you’ve been avoiding and set a timer for 10 minutes. Aim to keep going afterward if you feel engaged, but allow yourself to stop if needed.
