Adages are great, and they work for some people. They’re so simple and can provide just the right amount of motivation to get started.
What’s interesting is that people respond to different adages, even when they’re quite similar. For example, "Just do it" might work for one person but do nothing for another. Yet that same person might respond to "5,4,3,2,1, go" or "F*ck it, I’m doing it." Mel Robbins might argue that "5,4,3,2,1, go" is very different from "Just do it," but she needs it to be "very different" from "Just do it" ;-)
