**We all have that thought in our mind, we want to do something and start something, but we never actually do. But why does this happen, and how do we prevent it from happening?**

It all starts with the thought itself, usually this thought comes around when we see something that makes us interested about a certain thing, for example; you see someone make a cake, and it looked so good that you wanted to try it out yourself. You get motivated, and you buy all the ingredients for the cake, and then you forget about it. Days gone by, and you still didn’t make the cake, you forgot about it, but you think about it again when you see the things you bought, and you say to yourself “_I will make it soon…”_ And you end up waiting and not doing it after days and days and days.
