procrastinate because we\u2019re overwhelmed and unclear about the goal or project we\u2019ve got in front of us.<\/p>\n<p>We think about EVERYTHING that goes into getting to the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>We think about EVERYTHING we need to do to accomplish the goal or project.<\/p>\n<p>Then we start doubting ourselves:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>\u201cIt\u2019s too

called <em><strong>the next action method.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The key to this idea (as it applies to beating procrastination) is to figure out the <strong>very next doable action<\/strong> you
