“Start with the thing you are most motivated to do.
Start with a small habit you think is fun and do it consistently. This will not only feel satisfying, but also open your eyes to the type of person you can become.
After the first domino falls, you can use the momentum to do a little more.”
James Clear
Being the author of the best-selling book "Atomic Habits", I believe James Clear has something to add to the table when the matter of discussion is habits and taking action.
I know that what he describes in this quote is not the prefered order of many people - some prefer to do the harder or most boring stuff first - but, again, the guy knows what he is talking about so I would at least give it a try.
Personally, I prefer Clear's approach. I tend to procrastinate a lot when I'm facing boring stuff such as bureaucracy at work so I often need to motivate myself by doing a few easier tasks to gain some momentum before I tackle the dull stuff.
My productivity skyrocketed since I started following this approach so I really believe there is some merit on this strategy and I recommend everyone to at least give it a try.
