The intention-action gap

The intention-action gap is the discrepancy between what a person intends to do and what he actually does.

Definicja

This gap occurs when a good intention is not translated into a specific plan, starting conditions and response to obstacles. It's not just a lack of character. Often, unclear incentives, high start-up costs, lack of implementation of intentions and competitive rewards decide.

Praktyka i życie

Convert the intention into a formula: If X happens, then I will do Y instead of Z. The more specific the trigger, the smaller the gap.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to assume that a declaration alone is enough. It is also a mistake to plan without taking into account fatigue, distractions and obstacles.
