Things That Aren’t Doing The Thing
Preparing to do the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Scheduling time to do the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Making a to-do list for the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Telling people you’re going to do the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Writing a banger tweet about how you’re going to do the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn’t doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn’t doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Fantasizing about all of the adoration you’ll receive once you do the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Reading about how to do the thing isn’t doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn’t doing the thing. Reading this essay isn’t doing the thing.
The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.

My sentiments exactly. I’m sending this to my hubby 🤣
Haha 😂 It’s something worth printing out and sticking on the wall or fridge as a daily reminder.
Well, I feel very called out. 😅
Haha! Good 😂 Join the club!
🤗✨🍀Wonderful!
This was so good I just had to share it.
WOW!
I know right!
Indeed so!
Absolutely 😊
Absolutely wonderful!
It absolutely is!
excellent point. That’s something we should all look at every day and compare ourselves to it
You’re absolutely right. Just to keep the momentum going.
I appreciate this. I’m glad in April I find encouragement to keep going for what I set out for in the beginning of my year.
Let’s go! I hope it keeps snowballing for you!
All the preparations for doing the thing definitely isn’t doing the thing. I feel that deep in my bones. Sometimes, I get tired of thinking about doing the thing, even throwing a small mental tantrum ABOUT having to do the thing. And then… I do the thing and it’s finally done. Mission accomplished! What’s the next thing?! Ugh… xD
Hahaha 🤣 The never ending process of “Doing The Thing”.
I needed this call out while I was pretending that my procrastination was productive! Thanks for this, man!!!!!
Haha! I’m so glad to hear that!
Do the thing!
I enjoyed the rhythm of this post and it does offer a get up and the thing now vibe.
it really doesn’t matter if you dream until is actioned.
so do the thing! Today? Now!
You’re right. He hit the nail on the head with this.
