131. Why We Know What to Do But Still Don’t Do It

Episode 131

It’s one thing to know what to do, but it’s a whole other thing to actually DO it.

This is a struggle that so many of my private clients – students and professionals – deal with. They have the information, they’ve been instructed on what to do … and yet, they still aren’t taking action.

For people with ADHD, this phenomenon is even worse.

There’s a reason why this is happening, and it might not be what you expect.

What You Learn:

  • The reason you know exactly what to do but still don't do it 

  • The identity-based question to ask yourself instead of "do I feel like doing this right now?"

  • How to make future consequences feel real enough to actually move you to act today

  • 2 critical mindset shifts you need before taking action is even possible

  • 3 practical strategies that close the knowing-doing gap immediately
