Summary

You’re not confused about your goals. You’re not unclear on what matters. You want change — so why aren’t you following through?

That question came up again and again in this past week’s check-ins, so I pulled the most common themes and patterns and unpacked them here.

This episode is for anyone who feels frustrated that their actions don’t line up with their intentions — and wants practical tools to break that cycle.

We’ll talk about:

Why “this one thing won’t hurt” is keeping you stuck
The danger of vague excuses like “I just let it get away from me”
How to define the ideal — and why you need a vision to move toward
The real difference between having a plan and being prepared to execute
How to use “the lifespan of pleasure” to make better decisions
And the skill that matters most when you drift off track (spoiler: it’s not willpower)

1:05.7	but I wanted to put an episode about it here on the podcast because I just think there's a lot of us
1:11.4	in this boat. So I took this past week's check-ins from all my consistency clients. Like I downloaded
1:17.9	it into a spreadsheet and then I analyzed it for theme using the help of my computer. I said,
1:24.4	okay, what is like, if you had to rank the primary struggle, maybe secondary
1:30.0	tertiary struggle, what's number one? What is coming up as the biggest struggle? And inevitably,
1:34.4	it was this. Like, I don't really get why I don't do the work when I want this so bad.
1:40.6	So that's what we are going to talk about today. And the first question that I will typically
1:46.6	ask, if somebody sends me a check in and they're like, I'm just having a hard day, Elizabeth,
1:51.4	or I'm having a hard week. Like, I know what I want, but I didn't do it. And I don't know,
1:55.9	I don't know what's going on. The first question I ask is, okay, you're saying, I didn't do the work. Number one, what is the work?
