Love this, some great ideas in here. Recently I've been thinking about my planner and my do-er as two separate identities, which is helpful. They need different things. Also, the book "The Alter Ego Effect" by Todd Herman is a great read to help with getting things done.
Thanks so much for dropping by. I’m delighted that idea clicked for you!
You’re spot-on with separating the planner from the doer. Our inner "thinker" and "action taker" are different voices. Identifying them helps us give each what they truly need.
Meanwhile, yes. The Alter Ego Effect is a brilliant exploration of exactly that. Todd Herman breaks down how adopting a slightly different persona can help you bypass your usual barriers and show up when it matters most.
And you nailed it: cultivating a higher WHY—your deeper purpose—is everything. That’s what turns an identity shift into meaningful, sustainable change. When what you’re doing connects to something bigger, the “doing” flows easier, and the planner and doer start acting in harmony.
I would love to hear about the alter ego or inner persona you’ve been tinkering with, if you’ve explored that concept already.
Thanks again for engaging here. It truly enriches the conversation!
