Clear the Workbench Before the Shift Starts

We often wait for a dramatic surge of inspiration to tackle our heaviest goals, but lasting momentum rarely arrives that way. Instead, it is built through small, unglamorous actions taken while we still feel reluctant. By lowering the barrier to entry and focusing entirely on the next single task, we bypass the paralysis of overthinking. Progress becomes real not when the mood strikes, but when we decide to move our hands regardless of how we feel.
