The Magic Of Random: How To Take Fast Actions And Stop Procrastination
When we want to start something new, like an important task or a project, we face some invisible challenges. We always try to avoid or postpone the starting point. We consider different ways to do something else.
We try to be as prepared as we can. It seems we just procrastinate. We want to do something perfectly, and we feel that we can’t fail. We expect to make the perfect action and to hit the target on sight. We continue to plan and prepare, but we don’t start. Are these things familiar to you? Do you recognize yourself?
This invisible challenge prevents us from doing great things. It prevents us from doing something really valuable, something that will take us to the next level. It prevents us from starting and finishing projects.
There is a very simple thing we can do. Just take any random action that is in the scope of the variety of actions that relate to our target. We should understand that any random action would be more valuable than the precise action that we want to take. Any random action over a variety of actions that are in the scope of the target action will take us to the next level of understanding the workflow. We can’t plan everything and be as much prepared as possible. Only the first rough steps connect us with reality and a deep understanding of the target action.
So it means that you won’t fully understand how to make certain things until you try to do anything, just anything, any action, any random action that is in the scope of the target action. There is no need to afraid to do something wrong or fail.
We prepared an exercise for you, which can help you to cope with this challenge. This exercise means to define the target action that you are postponing. Then, consider a variety of actions, from complex to simple, which relate to the target action. And start doing it with simple ones.
