how often do you procrastinate on making the list? by the time you've started making the list, you weren't going to procrastinate any longer anyway.

it turns out, never. Making a list is one of the things we, or at least I, do as 'busy work' to avoid real work. In this case, it turns out that once we have a detailed step-by-step course to resolution, hard tasks suddenly seem quite easy.
