You’re not lazy.
You’re unclear.
That “I’ll do it later” feeling?
That’s not a character flaw.
That’s your brain refusing a foggy command.
“Work on the project.”
“Get in shape.”
“Fix my life.”
“Start the business.”
“Clean the house.”
Those aren’t tasks.
They’re clouds.
And clouds don’t move.
They just sit there and make you feel guilty.
Here’s what actually happens:
You look at a vague goal.
Your brain can’t see the first domino.
So it chooses a sure win instead.
Scroll. Snack. Organize your desktop.
Anything with a clear finish line.
Procrastination is uncertainty wearing a hoodie.
The fix is not motivation.
It’s translation.
You translate “big and vague” into “small and obvious.”
One concept: your brain needs a next action it can touch.
Not a plan.
Not a vision board.
Not a 47-step system.
One verb.
One object.
One starting line.
The Next Action Rule
If you can’t do it in under 2 minutes, you don’t have a next action yet.
You have a wish.
A real next action is:
Verb + Object + Constraint (optional, but deadly)
Verb: what you physically do
Object: what you do it to
Constraint: time or scope that makes it startable
Micro-story.
I used to write “work on newsletter” on my list.
Then I’d dodge it all day.
Because what does that even mean?
So I forced it into one verb:
“Open doc and write 5 bullet headlines.”
Suddenly - weird - I “had discipline.”
No. I had clarity.
Once the first domino fell, the rest was easy to earn.
Here are 5 examples. Steal them. Copy the pattern. Use one verb.
Vague: “Get in shape”
Next action: Put shoes by the door + walk 10 minutes.Vague: “Work on my resume”
Next action: Open resume file + update the top 3 bullets under last job.Vague: “Start the business”
Next action: Write a one-sentence offer: “I help X get Y without Z.”Vague: “Clean the house”
Next action: Set a 12-minute timer + clear the kitchen counter only.Vague: “Fix my finances”
Next action: Log into bank app + list last 10 transactions in notes.
See the pattern?
No “improve.”
No “work on.”
No “figure out.”
Just a move you can’t argue with.
Use this today:
Pick the thing you’re avoiding.
Write the vaguest version of it.
Then force it into one verb.
If you still feel resistance, it’s still too big.
Shrink it again.
Your goal isn’t progress.
Your goal is ignition.
And if you keep falling off because you can’t make yourself start, grab The 90-Day Discipline Blueprint - use the templates today, and run cleaner for the next 7 days.
Save this.
Next time you “don’t feel like it,” translate the fog into one verb.
