Most people think they have a “procrastination” problem. They actually have a “nervous system” problem.
When you’re staring at a daunting report or a difficult feedback session, your brain’s Executive Function can hit a wall. We call this a “Task Initiation” block.
The business world tells you to “grind through it.” At The Center for Abundant Life, we suggest a Graceful Entry.
Instead of fighting your brain, try this 3-step ritual:
- Clear the Visual Noise: Close every tab except the one you need.
- The 2-Minute Promise: Tell yourself you will only work for 120 seconds.
- The Sensory Anchor: Light a candle or take three deep breaths.
By lowering the “activation energy” and creating a cozy, safe space to begin, you aren’t just checking a box—you’re honoring your energy.
I’ve put together a “Starter’s Sanctuary” Checklist specifically for people who want to master Task Initiation.
