Motivational affirmations

Motivation is a poor foreman. It shows up for the interesting parts and disappears for the rest, which is why the trick is to lower the bar for starting rather than wait to feel ready.

These lines are built for that: say one, then do the smallest version of the task. Five minutes counts. Momentum is easier to steer than enthusiasm.

How to use them
