You know that thing you've been putting off?

Maybe it's actually big.

Or maybe you've been thinking about it for so long that now it just feels big.

Either way, here's your little Escape STUCK™ challenge for today.

Don't finish it.

Actually, you don't even have to try to finish it.

Make the next step smaller.

Two minutes

That's all.

What could you do in two minutes?

Need to work on your resume?

Open it and fix one thing.

Need to figure out college?

Look up one program.

Need to deal with your money?

Open your bank account and actually look at it.

Need to clean your room?

Put away five things.

Need to email someone?

Write the first sentence.

That's it.

You can keep going if you want

Maybe two minutes turns into ten.

Maybe once you open the document, you think, okay, I'm already here. I'll do a little more.

Great.

But maybe you do your two minutes and you're done.

That's okay too.

You still moved something that wasn't moving before.

Life is kind of an endless list anyway

I mean, when are we actually done?

You answer the emails and more come in.

You clean the house and somehow people live in it again. 😂

You finish one project and there's another one.

That's life.

So if we're waiting for the moment when everything is finally done, I don't know if that moment is coming.

Maybe that's not the goal.

Maybe the goal is just to keep moving.

Make the next step smaller

This is the part I want you to remember.

We're not shrinking the goal. We're shrinking the next step.

You can still want the big thing.

You can still have a big goal.

You just don't have to do all of it right now.

So what's the thing you've been avoiding?

Got it?

Okay.

What can you do toward it in two minutes?

Do that.

Not later.

Today's Escape STUCK™ challenge

Pick one thing you've been putting off.

Make the next step small enough to do in two minutes.

Then start.

That's it.

Still figuring out what comes next?

That's really why I created Escape STUCK™.

It's a 9-week journey for young adults who are trying to figure out things like career, college, money, independence, and what they actually want their life to look like.

Not because I have all the answers. I don't.

But I do think we need a place to ask these questions before making some pretty big decisions.

If you're feeling stuck, unsure what direction to take, or just trying to figure out your next step, you can learn more here:
