The Tool I Needed When Growth Felt Like a Wall
It’s not procrastination. It’s resistance.
What is the Resistance Map?
It’s a one-page tool I designed to spot where I was avoiding discomfort, staying safe, or quietly sabotaging my own progress.
It helps me ask:
What am I pretending not to know?
What actions do I keep postponing?
Where is fear shaping my “reasonable” decisions?
It’s brutally simple. But every time I sit down with it, something unlocks.
Why I Made It
As someone who runs personal experiments every month, I kept noticing a pattern:
I’d set goals that felt exciting...
...and then quietly drift from them.
Not because I didn’t care but because resistance disguised itself as busyness, doubt, or perfectionism.
The map gave me a language for that. It’s not a productivity hack. It’s a mirror.
