The Solution to Doing

Why We Struggle to Act

Many of us know what we should do—but still don’t do it. Procrastination, fear of failure, perfectionism, and decision fatigue all conspire against progress.

The real solution isn’t more motivation—it’s better systems, clearer priorities, and consistent micro-actions.

Core Principles of "Doing"

• Start small: Commit to just 2 minutes of a task to bypass resistance.
• Clarify your "why": Connect actions to deeper values or goals.
• Reduce friction: Make the right action the easiest choice.
• Track progress: Visual feedback builds momentum.
• Embrace imperfection: Done is better than perfect.

A Daily Practice

Each morning, ask yourself:

“What’s the one thing I must do today to feel accomplished?”

Write it down. Do it before checking email or social media. Protect this ritual fiercely.

Remember This

Action doesn’t require inspiration—it creates it. Momentum begins with a single, imperfect step forward.

You already have everything you need to start. Not tomorrow. Not after you “feel ready.” Now.
