The Power to Act

1. Read one or two pieces a day, then write down in one sentence a small thing you can do that day.
2. When you come across a piece close to your own situation, pause and take brief notes on your own points of procrastination.
3. Try applying the book's "take a detour" idea to a goal you're currently stuck on and list alternative paths.
