Are you struggling to get motivated today? Can’t get out of the bed, or off the sofa? “Baby Step it!” Think of the very smallest next action you’d need to take to move forward.
For instance:
Your guest room needs painting. What is the smallest next action you can take toward getting the job done?
Do you know what color you want? Maybe your baby step is to go online to explore paint colors or D.I.Y. sites for ideas.
Or, if you have paint and supplies, maybe the first baby step is putting on “work” clothes.
The key to baby steps is to only think about that one small action. Immerse yourself in the moment. Once you’ve completed a baby step, decide on another one. In no time at all you will have baby stepped your way through the inertia of procrastination into productivity.
