Exactly what @paige562 said about the messy start being the point. My own notebooks used to have these perfect, empty pages because I was too scared to mess them up. Letting go of that need for perfection was the only way I actually started making progress, and a basic pen is still my favorite tool too.

Used to always try and muscle heavy furniture into place. Saw @leo658's point last week when moving a dresser, just tilted it onto a blanket and slid it easily. Gravity did the work, not my back. Changed how I see a lot of chores now.
