How to Do the Thing You’re Putting Off

Stop fighting yourself and start working with yourself.

I’ve been working on some new projects, and today I’m happy to share the first one: a new guide called How to Do the Thing You’ve Been Putting Off.

You know that task you keep thinking about but still don’t do? The one that creates guilt, stress, and a constant sense that you should have handled it already? The one that probably wouldn’t even take that long, if you could just get started?

That kind of avoidance costs more than we realize. It drains mental energy, increases stress, and slowly turns into a story about who we are: lazy, flaky, undisciplined, broken.

But most of the time, that story is wrong. You’re not lazy. You’re stuck. And stuck people don’t need more shame, harsher self-talk, or another productivity system built around trying harder. They need a different way in.

That’s what this guide is for. How to Do the Thing You’ve Been Putting Off isn’t just a PDF or audiobook. It also includes an interactive experience designed to help you figure out exactly why you’re stuck and what to do next.

In under a minute, it helps you identify the pattern behind your resistance and points you toward a practical way forward.

Along with the interactive tool, the guide covers why tasks can feel heavier than they are, what’s actually happening when you avoid them, how to make a task small enough to start, how to create conditions that make action easier than avoidance, and what to do when you’re still stuck.

The new guide is available now in two versions, with an option for the audiobook and the interactive experience. Both versions also include two bonus audio recordings, Dopamine Stacking and Why Habits Fail.

This has been a fun project to work on, and I'm curious to know how it lands. If you end up picking it up, let me know how it helps you!
