I want to eat ice cream. I have sucessfully scrubbed the sink, done two loads of laundry, ate my broccoli, and drank three cups of coffee. Still, nothing is happening. I have to start. How do you start? Just go. Ready, one, two, three&#8230; go! Nope, didn&#8217;t work. I better try the ice cream idea.<\/p>\n<p>Working from home is harder than it looks.
