I already started vs I'm already doing it

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "I already started" is used when referring to an action that has already begun in the past, while "I'm already doing it" is used when referring to an action that is currently in progress. The choice between the two depends on the specific timing of the action being described.
