Procrastination

By Anonymous - 11/11/2023 14:00 - Australia - Perth

Today, I prepared a detailed plan to organise my life, colour-coded and beautifully illustrated. I was so engrossed in designing the perfect plan that I forgot to actually do any of it and ended up with a highly organised non-starter. FML

OP, an imperfect plan that you actually follow is better than a beautiful and perfect plan that you don’t… It can be tempting to spend inordinate amounts of time on what we think is a “perfect” plan, and it feels like you are accomplishing something so it’s satisfying. Don’t get me wrong, a good plan takes thought and study. But it also requires putting it into action and changing the plan when necessary… OP you had good intentions, but lost your focus on actually doing something.
