NO ACTION, NO MOTION

Previously, I had a bad habit of spending many hours on the days that I felt motivated to plan out how I was going to become the best version of myself.

I would plan my morning and night routines.

I would plan my work blocks and also my break/free times.

I would plan what I would eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I would also make my workout schedules and even download the necessary workout videos.

I would make sure that every category of my life was meticulously planned out. After all that, I was still in the same exact position in my life.

The position that I was in just before I had started meticulously planning out my life.

The planning got me absolutely no where.

My mind tricked me into thinking that I was making progress by planning and yet after all that planning, nothing changed.

What makes all the planning meaningful is the action that you implement as a result of the planning.

Now, I have been seriously focusing on taking action in my life over thinking that every detail should be planned out first.

Taking action genuinely transformed my life.

I have moved from someone who used to read one book in a year to reading one book in a week.

I have moved from someone who used to hate anything to do with running to now running 1.5k daily.

I have moved from someone who used to sleep-in and stay up late always to having a regular sleeping schedule.

Learning from your mistakes after taking action helps you progress faster than any theoretical planning every would.

Yes, the planning is important but it only makes sense when it is combined with action.

Therefore, stop overthinking and start taking action.
