It's been on the list for weeks.
Maybe months.
You scroll past it. Reschedule it. Add other things above it so it sinks out of view.
The weight of it grows without you touching it.
In your head it becomes a project. A commitment. A whole afternoon gone.
Then one day you open it.
Twenty minutes later it's done.
The dread took longer than the task.
That's the trick we play on ourselves.
We build monuments out of things that only needed a nudge.
It didn't need the right moment.
It just needed you to begin.
