The Hard Start of a Big Task

Your phone is in your hand but you are not using it. What will you do?

You have a big project at work or school. It is on your desk right now. You want to do it, but you feel tired and busy at the moment.

Your friend calls you on the phone. You pick up the call quickly. Now you feel guilty about your project. The time for work is gone now.

You sit on the sofa and watch a short video instead. You tell yourself that you can finish later. Now it is late at night and the screen is still on.

You know that you should start, but your brain wants to feel happy first. It is hard for people to begin something new when they are not ready.

Why is it so hard for you right now?
