Paralysis by Analysis

Do you ever get stuck in this cycle? You have something new to do, or even something that you just need to get done. So you make a plan. Then you analyze that plan to death, wanting to be sure you have covered all of the “what ifs” and things that just might happen. That way, of course, you have a contingency plan for everything.

On top of this, we always want the things we do to be creative, to be great, and to succeed. At some point, we get so deep into the analysis, that our lizard brain takes over and we get stuck–paralysis by analysis.

The reality is that not every single thing we do will be great. Some will succeed, and some won’t. It is also true that if we never DO it, we’ll never see the results of the ideas that ARE great.

Whatever you are working on this week, I encourage you to SHIP it. Just get it done. What are you waiting on?
