Nine ways to make taking action more effortless

Medium has spoken: ACTION is everything.

(Especially consistent action)

We can plan till the cows come home, but nothing happens until we ACT.

I know how easy it is to feel the numbing pain of inaction.

I know what I want to do, but I just can’t seem to move and do it. It is paralysing, and it is frustrating.

This thread is here to help.

Here’s why we don’t act and how we can find action effortless again:

1. We try to do too many things at once

We can only ever do one thing at a time.

But if we’re holding several things at the same time in our minds — as we are prone to do — we make it impossible to act.

Instead, we need to narrow our focus to the next one thing.

This will make it obvious, appear simple, and make action effortless.

Thomas Carlyle once said:

‘Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.’

2. We think that our self-esteem is at risk
