1. Choose a task you have been meaning to get done but never seem to get around to doing. You must be able to see and touch something that represents this task to you. It could be a note about making a phone call or a file folder containing everything you need to start writing a report, or a stack of material you have been meaning to file.
2. Pick up the object, the note, the stack, the paint can…whatever it is. Preferably pick it up 10 times a day; but at least once a day. Hold it and look at it.

Giving the resistant part of you a chance to speak, as well as acknowledging that you have the power to complete the task when you are ready resolves the impasse.
