Starting to renovate....again

If I could get my butt off the couch I could get started. What I wonder about today is how I've done it so many times in the past. Some say I am always renovating, yet I really haven't done anything at home for awhile now. Other places, or outside, yes. Still it seems onerous to start. Maybe its just that I'm getting older. Who knows? I don't. The only real way to get it done is to start. Put a hole in the wall, Fill the basement with furniture from the reno room, etc. That way there is always a reminder to get at it. What holds you back?
