The verse

A thousand thoughts are worth less than one move;
shift half a step and the wind grows light.

ActionGetting going

What it means

When you think a lot, it is easy to get stuck among the possibilities. Try doing a small part first today; the feedback from action is often clearer than turning things over again, and it loosens a tense mind.

Something to do today

• Pick a small thing you have hesitated over and spend five minutes on it before noon.
