You know the one. It's on every list. You write it down again every Monday. You've been about to do it for nine days. Here's what's actually happening: the task is too big to start. Not too big to finish — too big to *start*. Your brain looks at it, can't see the first move, and bounces.
The fix is rarely motivation. The fix is shrinking the entry point. Not the whole task. Just the first ninety seconds.
Try this: instead of the task, write down the first physical thing you need to do. Not "file taxes." More like "open the folder." Not "write essay." Just "title page, three bullets." You're not committing to the whole thing — you're committing to the door. In FocusBlobs, this is what sub-task breakdown is for. You give the blob the big scary task, the blob splits it into A through E, and now there's a clear first step. Hit start on A. It'll be done in ten minutes. You'll be moving.
The task you keep restarting isn't a personal failing. It's a packaging problem.
