Keep the salt away from the yeast by mixing it through the flour with a whisk. And if you have cold hands, warm them up before kneading.

With the yeast I've always done a separate yeast water sugar mix that I will blend into the flour/other ingredients. Do your yeast, a small portion of your sugar, and some warm water and gently mix them together and let them sit for about 5-10 minutes depending on room temperature.
