Some of those activities you listed as “preventing you from doing” are even inefficient ways of doing those very things which prevent you from doing.

For example, the best analysis is to do and pay attention to what you see. If instead, you start by thinking through a problem you spend many hours making little progress since difficult problems contain too many variables for you to reason accurately about. Worse yet, your analysis may even labour under an incorrect assumption, leading you to the wrong answer.

Had you just “done” instead, incorrect assumptions would be unearthed and complexity managed.

Interesting post.

What's the list of words you would offer for the DOING part? For example...<br><br>Marketing<br>Promoting<br>Publishing<br>Connecting<br>Educating<br>Speaking<br>Producing/Printing/Manufacturing<br>Others....?<br><br>In other words, putting the work OUT in the world and engaging with real people. <br><br>Thoughts?<br><br>Cheers!<br>Shea Hi Glen,

This is a good reminder to stop waiting & start working. What's the list of words you would offer for the DOING part? For example…

Marketing
Promoting
Publishing
Connecting
Educating
Speaking
Producing/Printing/Manufacturing
Others….?

In other words, putting the work OUT in the world and engaging with real people.

Thoughts?

Cheers!
Shea
