Stop planning, start doing
There comes a time when you have to stop planning
(fretting, wondering, worrying, thinking, debating, obsessing)
and just start doing
(moving, acting, deciding, changing, growing, progressing).

Thank you for this. I went back and reread What to do: Take small steps. These two posts were exactly what I needed today.

i am curious about the work in progress pictured above! but more so, i am whole-heartedly agreeing with the words. the last semester of my graduate school classes just began and i have been very overwhelmed with the amount of work i have on my plate. but frankly, fretting doesn’t get me anywhere. doing does.
thanks

Oh, you tease! Can’t wait to get a better look! Planning is part of the fun, but it is easy to overdo.

I like that you include other posts along a similar vein. This is exactly what I needed today. I was falling into the ‘feel sorry for me, I don’t have time because of this and this and that mode”
So, reading the other articles and this one helped give me the gentle kick in the you know what that I needed.
Thanks

Have a question Mal. Why is it so hard to start doing after the planning etc.?

I just found your blog – I wish there were some recent posts – but there’s a lot of great tutorials and information here – so thank you much!
This post in particular is just what I need to see/hear: I’ve got about five WIPs right now, and twenty other ideas – and I’ve been fretting about finishing and starting all of them. Time to just get to action!
Thanks,
Tara
