This holds if YOU are trying to do something yourself, but what if you need to select among alternatives? For example, buying a laptop. You want the best laptop for you, but all choices lack something. So you keep deciding, and waiting for new models to appear etc.

Generally, this applies to any package-deal choice that has a significant “undo” cost. If you just go ahead and use software X for your company instead of software Y, but then realize that X sucks, the cost of reverting the decision can be very high.

#4 – good tip about laying something out so you will be reminded to do it – otherwise it is easy to convince yourself not to do it!

#5 – one thing at a time – i’ve been guilty of that – wanting to change everything and achieving nothing! baby steps

#6 – stuck in rut – lost count of how many times i have ‘given up’ on trying something, just keep plugging away and you’ll get there!

#7 – perfection – VERY guilty of this – most things don’t have to be perfect – you can easily waste hours of your life trying too hard, it’s not worth it, it’s exhausting….

#9 – be content – VERY true – we could be satisfied with what we have – then we won’t be attached to getting more – which in turn attracts more…..

anyway that tips #6 is the best word i’ve ever read, i get shiver when i repeatdly reading it :)
