The Psychology of People Who Are Ambitious, But Lazy The other week I asked my newsletter of 34k people "what's your biggest struggle right now?" The most common answer: "I know what I need to do, but I can't get myself to do it." This video is my answer to that. If you can't get yourself to take action, chances are it's not a laziness problem. It's something deeper. I'll break down the real psychology behind why smart, driven people stay stuck, the three actual reasons you procrastinate, and four things that genuinely work to get you moving.
