20 Truths about Taking Massive Action

Why You Need to Stop Planning and Start Moving

One of the best productivity hacks is simply this: Commit to take Massive Action today. Massive Action means “I commit to finish now.” It’s when you take 3-4 hours or a whole day and focus on completing just ONE single goal.

Massive Action creates turning points in life.

Think back to your major turning points — the times your life took a big change for the better.

You went out and found a new job — and committed to it.
You started a new relationship and went all-in.
You decided to start taking your health and your exercise seriously.
You made something, built something, or wrote a song, an essay, or a book.

Short Version: Close to being a good movie. Instructive.

Full Version: I enjoyed aspects of this film. It was artful. The effects, the direction, the pacing, the music, the casting, and the acting were all excellent.

It was breathtaking. I came away feeling… impressed. The movie attempted to say something meaningful about politics and humanity. It had weight.

Despite all these good qualities, it was a mediocre movie. It had every production value going for it, but it missed the two most important elements of story-telling.

1) The plot was poor. 2) The characters were unbelievable.
