Lack of movement or activity, especially when it is wanted or needed.

It often takes more energy to get something moving than it does to keep it moving.

Think about someone on your team that has difficulty “starting” a project. You have likely provided coaching to take a bite-sized approach to start the project—one that is easily doable and will break the inertia. Once you become "unstuck" and get a project moving, it’s easier to keep it moving.

Now, translate that same action to something you may be procrastinating on—maybe it’s preparing for an important presentation! Start by jotting down your goal for that presentation. Write 3 key points you want to make in the presentation. From there, you’ve got a great starting point to frame up and build your presentation.

You’ve got momentum to keep moving.
