## Resource

When you just look at the totality of your task, it can definitely be overwhelming. So stop looking at the end. What's the next thing you can do to move forward. Do that. Then the next thing. Then the next thing... Eventually the entire thing gets done because you no longer allow your emotions to stop you. And yes, avoiding the issue at hand is an emotional response. Accept it and keep moving.
