Procrastinating? Your brain feels overwhelmed by the task. Tell yourself that you’re going to spend 15 minutes on it and do what you can. You’re far more willing to dive in.
Taking on the whole task feels overwhelming so you don’t start. Tell yourself that you’re not trying to complete it, only that you’ll spend 15 minutes working on it, which feels much more achievable. So you start the task, and usually end up spending more than 15 min on it and realize it’s not as bad as you thought. Even if you don’t finish it, you got over the hump of starting. Next time spend another “15 minutes”.

@Solution:
Very true for "basic" life lessons, things that don't change very much over time. It's not a generation thing, just a matter of people having lived long enough to gain a lot of experience in various topics.
BUT an absolute disaster, when it comes to things that change over time. The faster and more fundamental things change, the worse would be any advice from people getting their experience before the changed.
So, basically: Learn to differ what topics you can get really helpful advice from older people, and what things you'd better not ask them.
