There are movements cropping-up on social media sites that people must not publicly announce their plans. This is simply consistent to the pressure one might have if such plans won’t be materialized.

Individuals who excel at planning but struggle to materialize their plans often face what is known as the "intention-action gap." This discrepancy occurs when one's strategic foresight and detailed planning capabilities are not matched by the ability to execute those plans effectively.

Research suggests that this gap can be attributed to a variety of factors, including a lack of self-regulation, inadequate resources, and unforeseen external obstacles. Additionally, cognitive biases such as the planning fallacy—where individuals underestimate the time, costs, and risks of future actions while overestimating the benefits—play a significant role in this phenomenon (Hofmann et al., 2012).

Therefore, while these individuals may possess strong organizational skills and foresight, their execution often falters due to these psychological and practical barriers.

Meanwhile, people who are proficient in talking but not in doing are often described as having a high verbal fluency without corresponding action-oriented skills. This phenomenon is frequently linked to the concept of "all talk, no action," where individuals are skilled at articulating ideas, making promises, and engaging in persuasive communication, yet fail to follow through with concrete actions.

This behavior can stem from a variety of psychological and social factors. For instance, research indicates that such individuals may be driven by a desire for social approval and recognition, which they achieve through their verbal skills rather than through tangible accomplishments (Baumeister, 1982).

Additionally, the discrepancy between words and actions can be influenced by a lack of intrinsic motivation or practical competencies required to implement their ideas (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Then, while their conversational abilities may garner attention and praise, their lack of execution often leads to unfulfilled promises and unmet expectations.

The need to align our plans to their materialization and to “walk our talk” are often combinations of reflection, self-awareness and being true to your words.
