There's a time to think and there's a time to act. And these days, I'm all about getting s**t done! With the shirt to prove it.
You see, since I've been working from home, I've switched from an overstimulating open space office to living mostly inside my head.
This big change means I now receive a lot less external input which gives my mind time and space to go on wildly diverse paths. What a slippery slope that is!
As much as I value reflection and thorough analysis, there's no glory in overthinking. It makes you feel stuck, not good enough and keeps you from getting it done, whatever it may be.
I know this because this is what I've been struggling with it the past 2-3 weeks.
The only way to get unstuck, to carry on, to start doing so you can get results (and kick imposter syndrome's butt) is to ship stuff.
This is the advice I received from both my closest friends and my mentor. It's good advice because it works. When I changed my focus, I changed the story I was telling myself.
Of course, you've heard this before. It's not new. However, knowing these things is not the same as practicing them. That's where most of us get stuck.
Talking to friends, colleagues, mentors, a therapist or a coach is one way to overcome this hurdle.
