Do the hardest thing first: when does the advice fit?

A difficult draft matters today. You have a quiet hour, the required notes and no waiting dependencies. The available conditions fit the task. Starting now protects the time it needs. Change one condition: The required figures have not arrived and cannot be estimated honestly. Forcing the draft may create invented detail. Request the missing input and use the hour for work that can proceed.

You can spend an hour on a hard analysis or two minutes sending the access link five colleagues need to start. A small enabling action can remove a larger delay. Difficulty alone is not priority. Change one condition: The link has already been sent and everyone has access. The dependency is resolved. The difficult analysis may now be the best use of the quiet hour.

You keep avoiding a large proposal and cannot state what a first acceptable page would contain. The obstacle may be unclear scope rather than effort. Define a small first result before judging how hard it is. Change one condition: A ten-minute outline now names the audience, decision and evidence needed. You have a workable entry point. Beginning can produce something concrete to improve.
