Doing nothing compounds too. Every year you wait, the leap gets taller.

Standing still compounds the same way effort does, just in the other direction. Every year without the leap adds a bit to what the leap will cost: more settled habits, more arrangements built around the current version, more reasons that sound like wisdom. The distance is not fixed, it grows quietly while you are deciding.

If something has been on your list for two years, shrink it until it fits inside this week. One email, one call, one signup. The size of the step matters far less than starting the clock the other way.
