On infinite loop of planning
I open text editor, write down a thought, hit publish, repeat tomorrow. Hitting that publish button is becoming more and more easier.
For a long period of time, I believed in these two ideas.
- I need damn good plan before starting doing anything.
- If I screw up in the beginning, I will screw that up entirely.
And result? I got into infinite loop of planning, merely start anything and even if I started I worried about potential early mistakes that I went back into planning. Not to mention that such extensive planning can be just coping mechanism how to avoid any failure - if I do not try anything there will be no fail, right? But such approach overlooks the fact that doing nothing is the biggest failure.
That is not desirable outcome. So I am trying to flip these believes.
- I don't need detailed plan to start, I just need rough idea about what I wanna do and during the process I can figure out what will be next.
- If I screw up in the beginning (read as yes I will), I will fix that and continue peacefully.
