Preparing to do the thing is not doing the thing.

Scheduling time to do the thing is not doing the thing.

Making a to-do list for the thing is not doing the thing.

Telling people you're going to do the thing is not doing the thing.

Messaging friends that you're going to do the thing is not doing the thing.

Writing a great tweet about how you're going to do the thing is not doing the thing.

Hating yourself for not doing the thing is not doing the thing.

Hating other people who have done the thing is not doing the thing.

Hating the obstacles that stand in your way is not doing the thing.

Fantasizing about all the admiration you'll get from doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Reading about how other people have done the thing isn't doing the thing.

Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.

The only thing that does the thing is doing the thing.
