The Best Way To Get Unstuck

I'm a fan of Seth Godin's ideas. I'd like to share with you, if you haven't read it yet, his blog post about getting unstuck. It's simple and it makes perfect sense, I think.

Seth's Blog: The best way to get unstuck

Don't wait for the right answer and the golden path to present themselves.

This is precisely why you're stuck. Starting without seeing the end is difficult, so we often wait until we see the end, scanning relentlessly for the right way, the best way and the perfect way.

The way to get unstuck is to start down the wrong path, right now.

Step by step, page by page, interaction by interaction. As you start moving, you can't help but improve, can't help but incrementally find yourself getting back toward your north star.

You might not end up with perfect, but it's significantly more valuable than being stuck.

Don't just start. Continue. Ship. Repeat.

    Mostly people fear when they are not sure what's waiting on the end of the path. Never let fear to hold you back.

    That's actually what I'd like to call the curse of perfectionism - not wanting to make any mistakes.

    Thanks for sharing, this served as a reminder why I should just do things instead of asking too many questions.
