What can I try to help with starting tools?

Make the first step ridiculously tiny: "open the book" not "do the reading" Work near someone else, even if they're doing something different Use a 5-minute timer: commit to just 5 minutes of effort Do a quick physical activity first to raise your energy Count down "3, 2, 1, GO!" and start immediately when you hit GO Set up materials the night before so starting is frictionless
