Option presupposes action.
I found out something when writing down my tasks today: For something I intend to do, it becomes easier to start if I give myself options. It doesn't matter which one I choose, or how many options are there. There just has to be options.
Here's an example. Say I dislike drinking water for some reason. Instead of forcing myself to drink water, I can instead begin to consider: Okay. I don't enjoy drinking water that much. That is okay. Which cup or glass am I feeling like drinking water from? Not that I HAVE TO drink water. Just that IF I WERE to drink water, which cup or glass would make this process pleasant? The blue one with the handle? Sure. We'll go with that. Wait a second, I have chosen a cup to drink from. Might as well pour myself a glass.
Just like that I have tricked myself into drinking water. I can see this help me getting started with my tasks in so many different ways. Do I want to write in a web browser or do I want to write with a pen and paper? Do I want to go for a walk in the park 2 subway stations away or do I want to go for a walk in the shopping mall? It goes on.
See, the question "do I write in a web browser or do I write with a pen and paper?" indicates I do not have to force myself to do thing one way and this one way only. I will write either way, but there is room for negotiation with myself. I can always change my mind. The best part is, I don't even have to get started. All I have to do for now is consider options. I don't have to do a single thing yet. It just makes doing things so much more easier.
