Just do it!
Yeah! 🚀
well opinion.
I usually follow this plan when trying something new or working towards a goal.
Make a general plan.
Work towards it by breaking it down into smaller tasks/goals to be accomplished over some time is the next.
The last but most important is accountability, from personal journaling, public posting, talking with family/friends/peers/colleagues and embracing potential setbacks whilst acknowledging them as a part of the process.
In my opinion, fear has only one solution: just repeat the things you fear, and eventually fear will disappear.
One quotation i have read on Facebook
If you have a fear of doing anything, just do it; don't think because overthinking increases the fear.
Day before plan 📝 a next small step in your project. Just anything, but small. 🐁
Next day, start a day with this small task, just do it. 🙏
There is a huge change that you will follow topic, and do even more. If not, you still did progress in the right direction, it's big! 🥳
Keep repeating! 🚀
I use the 20minutes rule. I start doing it for 20min and most of the time when I look at the clock it's been hours that I'v been working on the subject.
The first 20min are the hardest! Just start!
I just do it, as @piko said. :)
