Close the intent-action gap

The moment you define a task, a timer starts running in your mind.

It measures if you did what you set out to do. It tracks if you are a doer. It only stops when something is dealt with.

If you define a bunch of work and then don’t deal with it decisively, it will clog your mind and slow down any momentum you might have had.

There is going to be a wide habitual gap between the time you set out to do something and the time you do it. This intent-action gap is bad.

If you want to be a doer, a finisher, a maker, you need to plan and do.

Who do you think will feel better?

Person A: Plan and do. Plan and do. Plan and do. Plan and do. Plan and do.

Person B: Plan, plan, plan, do. Plan, plan, plan, do. Plan, plan, plan, do.

Who will get better results?

And which person are you? A or B?

Which will you choose tomorrow?
