Summary
There's one task on your list today that would only take five minutes — a call, an email, a conversation — and somehow it's still sitting there untouched. Meanwhile the dishes get done. The laundry gets moved. Anything but that one thing. That's not a discipline problem. It's a flinch — a real, uncomfortable feeling that shows up the moment the task comes to mind, and doing something else makes it go away, at least for a minute. Today's episode looks at the two ordinary reasons an easy task can start to feel unbearably heavy, and why treating it as a character flaw only makes it worse. You'll leave with a clearer, kinder read on why you stall — and the specific shift that makes starting easier, starting today. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
