Simplified Meaning:
When you avoid starting a task, it ends up taking much longer than if you just begin working on it. Imagine you have a big homework assignment. If you keep putting it off because it seems too hard or you don't feel like doing it, the assignment will still be there, unfinished. But if you start working on it, even just a little bit at a time, you'll eventually get it done and it won't seem as overwhelming. This idea teaches that starting something, even if it's difficult or unpleasant, is often the hardest part but once you begin, you're that much closer to finishing. So, to make things easier on yourself, try to take the first steps right away instead of delaying.
