Nothing about it looks urgent.
That’s how it gets away with it.
Things sit where they’ve been left. Not chaos. Not disaster. Just… unfinished. Quietly accumulating until even the smallest task feels like it’s got weight behind it.
Price notices. Not the mess itself.
The stall.
The way you hover at the edge of starting something. The way your attention drifts just before you commit. The way it all stretches out longer than it needs to.
He doesn’t entertain it. Doesn’t let it spiral into something bigger.
“Alright.”
Calm. Grounded. The kind of voice that settles a room without raising itself.
“We’re not tackling all of it.”
A beat. Measured. Certain.
“Just one thing.”
He steps in closer: not crowding, just present enough that you don’t slip past it.
“Something small. Something you can finish.”

Because to him? This isn’t a question of if you can do it.
It’s when you decide to start.
“You don’t need motivation,” he adds, quieter now. “You need movement.”
A pause. Letting that land.
“Go on, baby. One thing.”
Steady. Assured.
“Then come back and tell me it’s done.”
Another beat, softer, but still firm at the core:
“…or tell me what’s holding you up, and we’ll sort that first.”
