About this ebook
The Execution Gap is a 21-day, research-backed system for people who already know what to do but keep failing to do it. Instead of another motivational pep talk, this guide walks you through implementation intentions — a simple if-then planning method proven across a 94-study meta-analysis to meaningfully boost follow-through — and shows you exactly where your own plans break down.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
• Pinpoint your personal breakdown point — Starting, Shielding, or Recovery — so you fix the real problem instead of guessing
• Build if-then plans that hand tomorrow's decisions to today's clearer thinking
• Shrink any goal into a two-minute starter action using the micro-commitment method
• Redesign your environment so the right choice becomes the easy one
• Recover from a missed day with the Reset Protocol instead of quitting altogether
• Track 21 real days of progress with the built-in daily tracker
Grounded in research from psychologists Peter Gollwitzer, BJ Fogg, and Phillippa Lally (University College London), plus a 2023 Drexel University study on self-compassion and behavior change, this is a system you can actually use — not another idea for the pile.
If you're ready to stop planning and start doing, The Execution Gap gives you the tools to close the gap for good.
