How to Start When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

Do you ever sit there staring at something you know you need to do… and just feel stuck?

Maybe it’s work you’ve been avoiding, a hard conversation, study you keep putting off. Or even something simple that somehow feels heavy. You tell yourself you’ll start tomorrow — but tomorrow keeps moving.

If that’s you, this episode is for you.

In this gentle and practical conversation, Ken Robinson talks about why it’s so hard to begin when we don’t feel motivated — and how to take small, faithful steps anyway. This isn’t about hustle, pressure, or pushing yourself harder. It’s about learning how to start with Jesus beside you.

You’ll discover:

• Why resistance doesn’t mean you’re lazy or failing
• How to start smaller than you think
• A simple 3-step pattern to break the cycle of avoidance
• How God helps not just your actions — but your willingness

With simple Scripture, honest encouragement, and practical tools you can use this week, this episode will help you move from stuck to steady.

If you’ve been waiting to “feel ready,” this might be the nudge you need.

You don’t have to tackle everything. You just have to begin.

Listen in and take your first small step forward — with grace, not guilt.

Feeling buried under too much to do? When your mind is racing, your to-do list won’t stop growing, and you can’t see a way out… how do you steady yourself?

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, mentally foggy, or quietly panicked about everything on your plate, this conversation will help you slow down, breathe, and find clarity again.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters — with peace.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Trying to decide things while exhausted often makes everything harder.

In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson gently explores why tiredness clouds our judgment — and why Jesus so often invites rest before giving direction.

If you’re feeling worn down, overwhelmed, or stuck at a crossroads, this episode is a quiet reminder that you’re not failing. You’re human. And God understands that exhaustion narrows our perspective, amplifies fear, and makes even small choices feel urgent and confusing.

Ken speaks honestly and pastorally about the pressure many of us feel to “figure it all out” while running on empty. He offers reassurance that pausing is not a lack of faith, waiting is not disobedience, and rest is not something we earn after making the right choice. Often, rest is where clarity begins.

Drawing from the life of Jesus, this episode shows how withdrawal, quiet, and restoration frequently come before action — not after. You’ll hear a guilt-free invitation to slow down, to stop forcing answers late at night, and to trust that God isn’t in a rush with your life.

This episode is especially for you if you’re:

• Overthinking decisions when you’re already exhausted
• Feeling pressure to act before you’re ready
• Wondering if rest means you’re falling behind
• Needing reassurance that God is patient and present

You’ll come away with practical, gentle steps for the week ahead, emotional reassurance for your tired heart, and a simple truth to hold onto: you don’t have to decide everything today. God is already there, and sometimes the wisest next step is rest.

A calm, hopeful episode to listen to slowly — like a trusted friend reminding you to breathe.
