The Know-Do Gap


We all know.....
We all know that It is better to exercise given the sedentary lifestyle…
We all know it is wise to save 10% of the income month after month…
We all know it is important to keep learning new skills to further our career…
We all know that Smoking is injurious to health….
We all know that Meditation will help t o retain the sanity ….
We all Know….

The lacuna seems to be in acting upon what we know…When it is time to act, we suddenly start blaming about lack of time, resource, people and what not.

One of the reason for the inertia to act is to do it perfect…For example, we think Exercise is fruitful only if it means hours spent in the gym…Savings helps only if we do it multiple thousands month-after-month. The result of this perfection is that we never begin doing the things…

So the solution is ….To think big ….but start small.
The first day even it is a five minute routine , just begin that exercise…
The first month even if it is an Hundred rupees, make that Investment….
The first minute of your office day ,read what is going on in the business 
The first rush to have a smoke...procrastinate it….
For a matter of 2 minutes, Close your eyes and follow your breath through the inhale and the exhale….

The key is to Do. With that small step, you would have made that giant leap to bridge the Know-Do gap. All that remains is to take the next step and the one after….

I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
