To overcome procrastination, Jane jump-starts herself by ________.

A) consuming an energy drink designed for procrastinators
B) pricking herself on the arm with a needle
C) composing a list of her strengths and weaknesses
D) getting started on a tiny task related to larger task

Getting started on a small task can help overcome the initial resistance to starting a larger task. This can build momentum and increase motivation to continue working on the larger task. Consuming energy drinks or pricking oneself with a needle are ineffective and potentially harmful strategies. Composing a list of strengths and weaknesses may be helpful in some contexts, but it may not be enough to actually start working on the task at hand.
