Reasons this isn't good advice
Unclear: What counts as "massive action""? Uncertainty leads to overwhelm and increased likelihood of inaction
Invalidates tiny action: When your focus is on taking "massive action" it leads to discounting all the tiny things you can do now or the tiny things that you NEED to do. This also leads to inaction because it feels like what you CAN do isn't enough
Massive action can lead to burn out and doesn't consider your current situation (empathy). It's a blanket statement that means nothing.
What to do instead
Start your goal setting from a place of Empathy. Figure out what your constraints are BEFORE setting your goals
Set a goal that is contextual to your situation
Create a progressive action plan. Start with the tiniest thing you can do and progressively increase to larger actions
Start immediately
