Why plan a wedding is harder than it sounds
Most people don't fail because they lack motivation - they fail because plan a wedding gets crowded out by everything else in their week.
The planning trap
You know you want to plan a wedding, but figuring out what to do each week takes energy you don't have. So "I'll start next week" becomes your mantra.
The time squeeze
Work expands to fill your calendar. By the time you think about plan a wedding, it's 9pm and your energy is gone. The goal keeps sliding.
The all-or-nothing mindset
"I need to set a whole day aside for this." You never find that day. Meanwhile, 30 minutes here and there would have added up to real progress.
