The transition back into working life after a break I always find challenging, so over the years I've developed a handful of "tricks" to help me get moving again.

One of which is my "Accomplish *One* Thing" rule, which helps me to start building up my working inertia again.

I wrote up my approach here in the hopes that it might help anyone else staring into the wide-open expanse of work and feeling rather daunted by it.
