Planning and Doing

Planning and Doing

Are you a smart person? Then I just know that you often take more time planning than doing. Planning includes thinking about what you’re going to do – even in the middle of the night when the woodpecker in your head is making lists and checking them twice. Smart people research, question, process, list, spreadsheet and write lists on napkins. Well if that’s you, it’s time to stop overdoing it. I’m suggesting that while a plan is important, sometimes you just have to get started and plan some of it later when the terrific idea turns out to be worth it. Make it happen. You’re smart enough to get started a bit before the plan is perfect. Get in the game. As they say, you can’t win it if you’re not in it. And while you’re planning, someone else has already started and might be ahead of you.
