One of my favourite flavours of procrastination is planning. There’s an action I know I need to take and when I finally get a moment to take the action, I spend the whole time planning.
Now, this isn’t always a bad thing. The whole “spend time sharpening the axe” thing is true and valid.
But if you find yourself never cutting any trees down you might have yourself a problem.
If we get trapped in the planning phase and find ourselves stuck “working things out” it’s probably time to just jump in and do it.
Just imagine yourself at a gym. You don’t have to work anything out to work out.
The working out is in the doing.
It’s time to stop planning, I think.
