Where do I start?
You know the feeling you get when:
- You have so many things to do, but so little time
- You have messed up real bad, and don’t know how fix it
- You are so stressed with so many problems hitting you at the same time
- You have a great idea but lack the know-how or resources to make it happen
You ask yourself, with a tone of helplessness in your voice, “Where do I start?”
The problem with that question is that it’s often the wrong one to ask. In my experience, “where” is overrated. Yes, surely there are times when you must start at the right place or by doing one specific thing first — like starting to build a house by laying down the foundations.
But most of the time, it’s not so much where you start but “when”. If instead of asking, “Where do I start?” you would ask, “What can I do about this starting right now?” — then “where” would eventually take care of itself.
What can you do about your situation/problem/idea starting right now?
