This is extremely helpful! Procrastination due to fear has always been my stumbling block. This ten minute practice and then recording the step is working well! Thank you!!
Avoidance is practice too — you're training "escape" as the automatic response.
The 10-minute sprint works because it collapses decision load (a working-memory tax) into a tiny start cue. Near transfer to starting hard tasks is real; claiming it remaps general intelligence is the overreach.
I applied this practice today. I utilized it for a household task (I've been dodging) and a creative project (that I am building greater confidence in). Both yeilded great results. I plan to apply this practice again tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.. Slowly but surely.. Creating progress towards new pathways.. one step at a time..
Hey Jim, I love the reflection part of this and I can’t believe, as an someone who keeps a daily journal 📔 reflecting on her day, it’s never occurred to me to do this for tasks - thank you 🫶🏻

I use sprints all the time as a writer. It never occurred to me to include a reflection piece. Brilliant!
As I continue to work on self-trust and building confidence, the practice of starting has proven to be very effective.
Thanks for this concise layout of key concepts that work❣️
This landed at the perfect time for me. Exactly what I needed today to stop waiting to feel ready and just start with ten minutes.
