Solving “Analysis Paralysis”

“Perfect is the enemy of good and good is the direction we need to head.” – Seth Godin on Akimbo Podcast

The entire world is not solvable but there are little pieces of the world that we can improve.

Often for me, this looks like a few minutes of strategy before a big problem. Find the smallest viable goal achievable. The most approachable goal that gets the job done and then begin working towards it.

Other times it means I need to take a walk and realize I can’t fix it all and it’s not my place to fix it all. Sit in the muck and be okay with that for a bit.


Inspired by and quote above from Akimbo Podcast by Seth Godin episode “Money for nothing? Q&A Section (starting at 15:15). This podcast also has questions that connect to drive some people have towards high competition. How to focus that and utilize it well.
