I immediately commiserated with this article when I saw the headline, because I have the same problem. I wish the resolution of the blog post was something other than "break the big thing in to little bits and do those" - something that I've known for a long time. For me, the most successful thing I've come across, and coincidentally the hardest part to change, was not being a perfectionist and just getting to MVP. Sometimes you have to say no, and just finish.
- visakanv 13y agoThe biggest game-changer for me has been peer pressure, if that helps. I left a talkshop group of friends and started working with people who were getting things done. Changed my life dramatically.
- 3stripe 13y agoAccountability can be a great thing, agreed. I used a kind of accountability hack to get a lot of writing done last year — basically by setting a £100 penalty for any day that I didn't write 1,000 words.
- eddieroger 13y agoYeah, I'm working on that. I've got a few friends who are in similar situations, so we schedule Hangouts or the like to do show-and-tells and keep each other accountable. It helps, but hasn't fully fixed me of bad habits.
