Here’s a helpful mantra for getting shit done:

Resistance loves it when we “rehearse” and “prepare.” It knows the more we plot out our magnum opus, the less chance that we’ll actually work on it.

I have a mantra:

Start before you’re ready.

The idea is to outfox our fear-brain by stealing a march on it.

Don’t research. Don’t plan. Begin!

Start before you are ready.  Sweet and sour advice at the same time.
