Taking actions might cure self doubt | #23
Why small actions are important than bigger targets
Hi 👋Pranav here

Every Friday, I share my process, my thoughts and some recommendations for good videos, podcasts, songs or anything interesting things I have consumed over the week.
For the last few days, I am not feeling that great. My school started offline and I am not able to focus on my content creation with 100%. I am planning to post long-form content again on YouTube, but after I get home from school at 3 pm, I don't have the energy to work on my content. Not just for YouTube, but for all platforms. That's the reason I couldn’t post last week’s newsletter. I was feeling very bad that I was not working. I started facing self-doubt that I am not making content, so how will I be a great person. I was not able to focus on all the things because of mental fatigue.
Then one Sunday, I realised I didn't post anything on Instagram in a long time, so saw the ideas for the reels I had written, made the reel and posted it on Instagram and YouTube. It was the poem ‘I Can’ I had shared in my newsletter (read it here) earlier.
Then a few days later I realised I posted that reel and I felt very good. Many people appreciated it. Then I realised I was making many goals to complete and doing nothing. I used to feel overwhelmed after seeing them. Then I decided to make small (less) tasks and complete at a time. My lack of action was creating that self-doubt. I should take action and plan 5-6 tasks at a time and not 20 things at once. It’s easier to take small steps rather than big steps. Plan out small tasks and tick them off.
