Lessons

• Motivation, commitment and the weather of feelings — Motivation rises and falls. Commitment is what you do on the days it doesn’t show up. (7 min)
• Inner and outer reasons — Doing something because it matters to you, or because of what it gets you — and why both count. (7 min)
• Starting before you feel ready — Readiness often arrives after starting, not before. Working with emotional resistance. (7 min)
• Friction and making things easier — Small obstacles decide more than big intentions. Arrange things so the right action is the easy one. (8 min)
• Avoidance and procrastination — Procrastination is usually about a feeling, not about time. (8 min)
• Momentum, small wins and missed days — Progress you can see keeps you going. A missed day is a day, not a verdict. (7 min)
