The Gentle Principle of Getting Stuff Done
11:28:46 2024-11-13 1638

On some days, you are just not feeling it. You don’t want to do the thing that is on your to-do list, even though you know you can likely do it if you really try, and even though you know you will likely feel better afterward.

Still, everything inside you is shouting NO, and you only notice this strange, inner resistance. And so you don’t do the thing. You don’t make that doctor’s appointment. You don’t go to the gym. You don’t mail in that ballot.

Moments like these are quite common, and everyone experiences them; sometimes less, sometimes more. And there’s nothing wrong with occasionally procrastinating on tasks and putting off chores for later because the consequences are often quite benign. However, when this becomes a pattern, and you frequently avoid taking action in important areas—whether it’s in your relationships, at work, with your health, or your role as a citizen—then you might inadvertently cause more harm than you intend.

Undone chores tend to get worse, and some opportunities may never come again, creating fertile ground for future regrets. And this can quickly turn into a cycle, where a lack of action leads to feelings of shame and regret, which—ironically—often act as a barrier to action, making you procrastinate even more, fueling future shame and regret, and so on.

Even if you know all these things, you still might struggle to put in the work. But why is that? Why do we often act in ways that we know are unhelpful?
