Is it just me or do a lot of people read many many books and articles as well as watch video or attend classes with great tips and points and just hardly do anything with it?
I mean I do apply things I learn and some concepts do stick but action/application/practice to mastery is a different case.
At times I feel like learning is actually part of the problem. I will always find a better tip or path or priority.
At times however, it's just impulsive or compulsive research.
So what do people do to activate. When you've been procrastinating, when you have vague ideas but no real game plan.
Did you hire a coach, join a group, do some deep self reflection, let time figure it out and naturally found path?
Do intensive Bootcamp/retreats transfer back home, do you find a friend and work on it together?
As someone who sometimes gets trapped in my mind and gets overwhelmed by what I want to do and what I need to do that isn't getting done, I'd appreciate your sage advice on how you've personally successfully activated. Topics of interest include social skills development, writing/video creation.

Always picture the end result and constantly remind yourself why you're going through all that pain and hardship.

The reason why books/articles/videos is not working, is because they don't cover everything.
Let say books on getting girls. Sure, there are tips and tricks, but you need to know about the girl. What does she like? What kind of guy she sleep with? Why does she do that? Etc. That comes with experience.
Same deal with writing/video. It's about understanding your audience.

Now to get that sweet, sweet experience, you're going to be wrong sometimes. Get rejected sometimes. Get a sweet ass result (the lay) sometimes.

Now to say "activated."
Probably something that makes you motivated.

Do something that makes life easier for you in the future.
Example: Meet a girl. Who knows. What if I get her and make life sweet for me in the future.
Eat well. Surely me in the future will have easier time with a fit body.
Save money. Surely me in the future might need the money.
Learn skills. Surely me in the future want the options.
