> 1. Exploration & Execution.

I found myself really liking this section. Unfortunately, I think it was because it helped validate my inner fears that manifest as procrastination.

Overall, I liked the article, but be wary of using those early stages as a excuse on which to continue doing nothing.



So how do you get around your excuses to do nothing? What have you found to be most effective and least effective? I have some pretty terrible procrastination


I'm still learning to identify my sources of procrastination, so I'm not sure I've found anything effective yet.

On the other hand, I have done a couple of test/soft-launches this year, and have lost my fear of failing on those. That's more than I had done in the prior 10 years of being a programmer with aspirations, so it's progress.

I still struggle with probably doing too much before testing an idea, but I also struggle with doing too little, so I'm trying to find a balance. Learning, still, really.
