Every day that I work, I have to start. Before I start I'm not working, and then later I am working, and for a certain amount of time in between--a moment? more?--I'm starting to work.
Starting is hard. At least it is for me. It's something I do every day, so why am I not good at it?
What I always envision when I'm not working is that I'll simply go to the computer and turn it on and start. And that never ever ever ever ever happens. Even in the best case, when I don't dive into email or web surfing or god forbid a game before I get myself in front of my text editor, I always stare at that blinking cursor for a while before I … go and do something else.
Could it be that starting is a skill, something that can be improved on with practice?
