Getting things done, it seems, may be one of the most difficult processes one undertakes: regardless of relative difficulty of actions, the most difficult part of the action, invariably, is starting. The first portion of action we take first, with anticipation of the further portions of the action, seems to be more difficult depending on the latter portions.
Like writing a song, riding a bicycle, or teaching students, the most painful part of the process is the beginning. Even with actions we have performed a multitude of times, we procrastinate, whine, and moan -- though, only with any true fervor before the starting of said action. It is important, then, that we learn to ignore our hedgings and proceed directly with the actions we intend to, wish to, or must perform.
If there is anything that is essential to our lives, it is in the act of doing things that we perceive to be too difficult for us to perform. Throw off those self doubts, for with them, nothing can ever really happen in any larger sense of the word. We will merely continue performing the perceived easiest actions we have available to us. Imagine you have been asked to speak at a large public function, and in an attempt to be polite, you agree. If you do not prepare yourself for said speech, whether it be through recitation, drafting and re-drafting, intense study, or some other method, you will fail to capture the crowd to the best of your ability. It is also true that your actions, while they seemed to be the easiest at the time, also made your future actions more difficult.
In anything we do, it is important to consider that we will be avoiding the actual action; it seems that, by nature, most people are lazy and useless. It is only through the process of performing actions that such is changed, and only truly through performing perceived difficult actions that such a typing is thrust off.
If there is something worth doing, it is worth doing now, taking into consideration the effects of performing an action at a given point in time. At times, it may be unreasonable to perform an action; for example, practicing guitar playing at three in the dead of morning while others in the house are sleeping would prove to be unreasonable and rude.
Besides such instances, the best time to start anything is not around the corner: it is now.
