Habits of Highly Ineffective people

First of, No there isn't a typo in the title.

This is not going to be about the "7 Habits of Highly effective
people".

This is going to be about the Habits that most of us have and need
to get rid of.

Habit #1

"Thinking too much."

"But, isn't thinking alot good? The more i think and analyze,
the lesser the risk of doing something wrong.. right ?"

Well, the more you think, the lesser the chance of you taking any
action at all !

"Paralysis by analysis" - Thats why my mentor Suria Mohd says.

It can waste years of your life.

There is nothing wrong however with thinking before you do
something.

Doing research, drawing out a precise plan and exploring possible
problems that might turn up.

But whats wrong is obsessively thinking and thinking and thinking.

Just another way to waste your time and comfort yourself.

I've fallen for this deadly trap before. Numerous of times.

Spending 2 whole weeks deciding the name of the domain i was going
to buy.

I could have done so much more if only i had decided earlier !

What about you? Have you fallen in this trap ?

I then began to realize that there is no need to examine everything
from every angle. If it feels right, just do it !

Sure alot of us have heard about this before, but are we really
doing it ?

How many of us have waited for the perfect time to do something ?

That time never comes my friend.

We determine when the perfect time is for us.

And guess what the best part is !

If we keep thinking we’ll just dig ourself down deeper and deeper
and taking action will become more and more difficult.

I'm guessing you already know the solution by now.

We just need to STOP thinking.

Shut of our minds and just start.
