Do you suffer from ANALYSIS PARALYSIS?
 

One common misconception about analysis is that oftentimes many people equate THINKING/RESEARCH/ANALYZING an issue with WORKING on the issue. I agree that you're working but there's a crucial and necessary stage after analysis-- IMPLEMENTATION. Here's a great blog post on getting past the Analysis Paralysis logjam http://www.chrisg.com/defeating-proc...sis-paralysis/

i'll have to think about this

Ill read it tomorrow.

ha - good replies

but yes, that phrase Paralysis by Analysis which is really Paralysis by Over Analysis has haunted me my entire life.

and it all comes down to this old saying 'shit or get off the pot'

Good point. At some point, Nike's motto "JUST DO IT" should kick in for results to happen.

Ohhhh, I thought the thread topic was asking me if I ever had Anal Paralysis. I got all excited thinking there was possibly someone else out there going through the same thing.

Speed of decision making is important.

yeah... it's a bitch

not anymore. I took ex-lax

I'm not reading that...

I used to for sure. Now I just get on with everything before I have time to convince myself to leave the project alone. I get some failures because of this, but much better results in general.

I guess what makes this problem particularly harsh is that many people equate thinking/researching with actual working. Oftentimes, the 'test run' is the actual research!
