Try this. Suppose (say) your place is filthy, years of grime, you just can't face cleaning it. Here's what you do. You buy some cleaner – do nothing else (promise yourself). Easy! Next day, clean only one window sill. Easy - but only because of that first step! And so on... A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. That step has to be ridiculously easy – otherwise you won't take it. You want to climb that mountain? Today find your boots - and do nothing else!

@archdeaconj Solid advice. In NLP that's called chunking down.
