Many people lack execution ability, not because of capability issues, but due to a "state perfectionism." People are always waiting for a perfect moment—sufficient sleep, good mood, tidy environment, abundant inspiration—before taking action. However, the reality is that such perfect moments rarely exist. As a result, the brain uses various seemingly reasonable excuses (bad weather, not enough rest, tidying up the environment first, etc.) to procrastinate. Essentially, this is an avoidance of the discomfort, pain, and uncertainty that inevitably come with action. Truly high performers are not those with better states, but those who accept starting work even when their state is poor, their mood is average, and their environment is ordinary. Once you let go of the obsession with perfection and adopt "act first, then adjust" as the default mode, you can significantly increase your action frequency and output.
