The most challenging part of a task is often getting started. For instance, to get out of bed or to start studying for an exam.

In chemistry, activation energy is the energy that must be supplied to result in a chemical reaction. The more energy you need, the harder it is to start the chemical reaction. A way to apply the activation energy principle is to reduce the amount of energy you need to do the action.
