Procrastination isn’t laziness.
It’s vagueness.
Your brain doesn’t avoid work.
It avoids unclear work.
“Work on my business.”
“Get in shape.”
“Fix my finances.”
“Start writing.”
None of those are actions.
They’re clouds.
And you can’t execute a cloud.
Here’s the rule that ends the stall:
If the next step isn’t a verb, you won’t do it.
Not “plan.” Not “think.” Not “research.”
A real verb. A physical move.
Because verbs create traction.
And traction kills procrastination.
Most people keep tasks in noun form:
“Website.” “Gym.” “Budget.” “Presentation.”
Nouns don’t tell your body what to do.
They just sit there and judge you.
So your brain does what it always does when it can’t see the path:
It escapes.
Scroll. Snack. Tidy. “One quick thing.”
The fix is not motivation.
It’s conversion.
Turn the goal into one verb.
One move you can do in under 10 minutes.
Not forever.
Just next.
Concrete example.
I used to write “write newsletter” on my list.
And somehow I’d do everything except that.
Then I switched it to a verb:
“Open draft and write the first ugly sentence.”
Same goal.
Different instruction.
My brain stopped arguing.
Because there was nothing to debate.
It was specific. It was doable. It was a verb.
That’s the One Verb rule.
Free deliverable: 10 common goals → one-verb next actions
Use these as your default translations. Copy/paste them into your list.
Goal: Get in shape
One-verb next action: Walk for 10 minutes (shoes on, outside)Goal: Lose weight
One-verb next action: Plan tomorrow’s first meal (write it down)Goal: Start a side hustle
One-verb next action: List 10 problems you can solve (notes app, now)Goal: Make more money
One-verb next action: Send one outreach message (one person, one offer)Goal: Fix my finances
One-verb next action: Open your bank app and label the last 10 transactionsGoal: Clean the house
One-verb next action: Fill one trash bag (timer 7 minutes)Goal: Write a book / newsletter
One-verb next action: Write 5 bullets for the next section (not sentences)Goal: Build a morning routine
One-verb next action: Set a bedtime alarm (and obey it tonight)Goal: Learn a skill
One-verb next action: Practice for 10 minutes (one drill, not a course)Goal: Stop procrastinating
One-verb next action: Start a 5-minute timer and do the smallest real move
Here’s how to use it without overthinking:
Take your top goal.
Ask: “What’s the next physical move?”
Write it as ONE verb + ONE object.
Then do it immediately if it’s under 2 minutes.
If it’s longer, schedule it.
No verbs, no progress.
Verbs only.
