E021 — Learning Feels Productive—But Is It Holding You Back?
In this episode, Juliette shares a counterintuitive idea: that learning, while seemingly productive, can often hold us back. She explores how excessive consumption of information can create a false sense of progress, overwhelm us, and ultimately prevent us from taking meaningful action.
Instead of staying trapped in an endless cycle of learning, she shares practical strategies to shift towards execution, overcome procrastination, and build habits that lead to real results.
"When you learn about something, you're not doing the thing. And there is so much content out there. You have to choose if you are a learner or a creator."
— Juliette Fiszka
Takeaways:
Learning can provide a false sense of progress, making us feel like we’re achieving something when we aren’t taking real action.
Overconsumption of information can lead to overwhelm and inaction, making tasks feel harder than they actually are.
Small, actionable steps are key—mastering the basics before advancing helps prevent burnout and ensures sustainable progress.
Mindset is critical: rewiring your thinking towards action rather than passive learning is the first step to real change.
Accountability, whether through a friend, a coach, or structured environments, can help push you past procrastination.
Movement and energy shifts (such as music and exercise) can be leveraged to create momentum.
Discomfort is a natural part of growth—embracing it can help you push through resistance and take meaningful steps toward your goals.
