Welcome! If you've ever spent hours perfecting a plan only to feel stuck when it's time to actually start, you're not alone. The secret to real momentum isn't in the perfect roadmap—it's in doing one small, finishable piece right now. Let's explore how shifting just a bit of your energy from planning to immediate action can transform your entire approach to getting things done.
Lost in the Plan
It's so easy to fall into the planning trap. You add another column to your spreadsheet, refine your colour-coded system, or research one more productivity tool. Meanwhile, the actual work sits untouched.
Here's the truth: plans feel productive because they promise results. But only action delivers them.
- Your brain rewards you for planning because it feels like progress
- But that dopamine hit fades quickly when nothing actually gets done
- The gap between your impressive plan and real achievement keeps growing
Many neurodivergent individuals struggle with this exact pattern—creating brilliant, detailed plans but stumbling when it's time to execute. The antidote isn't a better plan. It's taking the first small step.
Pick One Small Thing
Look at your big project right now. Don't think about the whole thing—that's too much. Instead, identify one tiny slice you could genuinely finish today.
This needs to be laughably small:
- Draft one paragraph of that report
- Make a single phone call
- Organise one drawer, not the entire office
- Send that first email you've been avoiding
The key is choosing something so manageable that you can't possibly talk yourself out of it. If you're thinking 'but that's too small to matter', you've found exactly the right size.
Do That One Thing
Now comes the magic part: actually doing it. Not tomorrow. Not after you've refined the plan one more time. Right now.
Clear everything else from your mind. Put your phone away. Close unnecessary tabs. Give yourself permission to ignore the rest of the massive plan for the next 15 minutes.
Focus entirely on completing this single piece. When you finish it—and you will—something powerful happens. You've converted a theoretical plan into real, tangible progress. You've proved to yourself that this project actually moves forward when you take action.
That evidence is worth more than any amount of planning.
Feel the Progress
Take a moment to acknowledge what you've done. Mark it complete. Give yourself that satisfying tick.
This is where confidence builds. Not from having the perfect plan, but from proving you can execute. Each small completion becomes a stepping stone. Do this consistently, and your intimidating roadmap transforms into a trail of finished tasks behind you.
- You've broken the cycle of endless planning
- You've built momentum that makes the next step easier
- You've discovered that progress comes from action, not preparation
Here's a fun truth: your to-do list doesn't get jealous. It's perfectly happy if you complete just one thing today. That's all it takes to shift from planning mode into doing mode.
Repeat this today-first approach tomorrow, and the day after. Before you know it, you'll have made more real progress than months of planning ever delivered.
