Over the years I have always though how I could "manage" my goals better and better. Until I found action outline.... which is great. I use something like Steve's system now.

Anyway... is my problem procrastination or lack of motivation? I need to start doing! Not staring at my goals, and doing very small easy to do tasks.


Anyone got any advice for me?
I am very similar in terms of I'm generally a much better planner than doer.

my recommendations are:

- make sure your action plan is very specific and very doable
- gradually increase the amount of action you take daily with the goal to one day be someone who takes massive action
- make sure your "why" for achieving the goal is clear and strong enough to motivate you to take consistent action
- celebrate each action you do by making yourself feel great each time you take a step closer to you goal
- identify any potential roadblocks that may be stopping you from taking action and destroy those roadblocks

I hope that help
