Episode Why Knowing What To Do Isn't Enough To Start It

0:00 7:08

You know exactly what a hard task requires. You have the time. And you still don't start it — again. Today we look at why that gap between knowing and doing isn't really a discipline problem. For a lot of people, avoidance is the mind protecting itself from an uncomfortable feeling right now, even when it costs something bigger later. We also look at a surprising research finding that points at something real: taking a small action first can bring motivation along behind it, more often than waiting around to feel ready. That shift changes what actually helps you get moving. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
