Action Plan Template
Use this when you know what matters but keep postponing it.
The goal is to make the next action small enough to start today.
What do I know but fail to act on?
Write one sentence.
Do not write a huge life goal. Write one real thing.
Why have I not acted?
Possible reasons:
- Too big
- Too vague
- Too difficult
- Fear of failure
- Low energy
- No clear next step
- Waiting for the perfect condition
10-minute action
What can I start within 10 minutes?
Requirements:
- Small

- Not dependent on perfect motivation
- Easy to verify
Evidence
What will prove that I acted?
Examples:
- A note

Tomorrow's continuation
What is the next small step after today's action?
Reflection
Did I really not know what to do, or did I know but avoid acting?
If I avoided acting, make the next step smaller.
