Starting becomes easier when the first task does not require deciding the entire future.

Beginnings get heavy when the first step is treated as a commitment to everything after it. Choosing a course, a tool, a direction, a name: each one feels irreversible, so the sensible move looks like waiting until you are sure, and you can wait for years. Most first steps are far less binding than they appear.

Pick the smallest version of the thing that would teach you something real. Do it without deciding what happens next. Let what you learn choose the second step, which is a decision you will be better equipped to make.
