I apologize for not writing an update sooner. Today, I have found two things that help me start a task:

1) Avoidance of a different task I want to do even less.

2) Taking some of the pressure off and telling myself I just need to start, not complete, said task.

The dining room is finally getting its post-adjacent-bathroom-renovation scrub.

Just start that task that has been on your to-do list for months. Get as far as you get. Do it as well as your capacity allows. Consider this your permission.

You’ve got this!
