Preparing to start is comfortable.

Nothing can fail when you’re not doing anything...

You don’t feel bad, ashamed, your ego is intact… because you haven’t struggled and screwed up anything...

You're not struggling with focus...

You're not experiencing yourself not knowing what to do...

You're protected from experiencing that you don't like what you created...

You're not struggling with completing what you started...

You know exactly what’s going to happen: Nothing.

This hit home.

I used to think my color-coded systems meant I was organized, but really, I was just organizing my procrastination.

What helped was building systems that start the work for me instead of just tracking it. I write about that kind of clarity often in my Notes.
