All of us have been there, wanting to change our lives, at some time or other. Maybe we’re working at a job we hate, or our life has been drained of all passion, or we’re unhealthy and looking to fix that. Or perhaps we’re just unmotivated, staring at a huge to-do list but falling short on finding the strength to accomplish anything.
I have certainly been there… more than once.

From thought to action. Without that transition, nothing would ever get done. Whether we’re talking about personal growth or doing something for work, it isn’t enough just to wish it to be.
We can focus on what we want to happen with all of our intellectual might, see the results in our mind’s eye, and use all the positive thinking in the world, but if, at the end of the day, we don’t take action, it will all be for nought.
I don’t think any of this is controversial. We can all agree that to get something done, we need to actually do something. The question I set out to investigate was why I so often have such a hard time making that transition.
There are many people out there who would label me “lazy,” at times. Sometimes I have something I’m supposed to do and I just can’t bring myself to do it. Instead of accepting that label, I set out to discover the real reasons behind my occasional procrastination.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. - Logan P Smith
One of the many things I wish I had learned sooner in life is the ‘Pareto principle,’ usually called the “80/20 rule.”
The principle is the observation that 20% of activities lead to 80% of your success. In other words, most of what you’re doing is essentially a waste of time because it doesn’t contribute much to what you want to achieve.
