#136 - "I Know What to Do, But I'm Just Not Doing It"


Listen Later

Have you ever made a plan, felt totally ready to follow through, and then… didn't?

You told yourself you'd start tomorrow. You even meant it. But tomorrow came, and somehow, nothing changed. You might've even thought, "What's wrong with me? I know better."

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and this week's episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast is going to hit home.

It's called "I Know What to Do, But I'm Just Not Doing It," and it's all about that frustrating gap between knowing and doing. You'll learn what's really happening in your brain when you make plans but don't follow through, and why willpower has nothing to do with it.

You'll also hear how one small shift—working with your brain instead of against it—can make following through feel easier and even enjoyable.

This episode is especially for you if:

  • You make plans but rarely stick to them.
  • You tell yourself you'll start tomorrow… a lot.
  • You feel frustrated for not doing what you know would make your life easier.
  • You're tired of thinking you need more discipline or motivation.
  • You want to understand how your brain actually works so you can finally get things done—without the guilt or pressure.

This is one of those episodes that'll make you sigh in relief and say, "Ohhh… that makes sense now."
