New GTDer: A wall is there
fade | Aug 11 2006
Okay. .... Now, I'm sitting here looking at all of this. And nothing's changed. I still feel anxious. I know D. Allen said looking at your lists will foster anxiety, and it sure has. I feel as bad as before. It's still at the point where I can't actually do any of the next actions. I look at them and go, "Pbbbbbbbbt." I can't get motivated. Why? I want to see the end product. I want to get things done. I want to be the best. It's like I need a swift kick in the ass. I know I can't be the only one who has experienced this. Minuteur helps, but then I feel forced and uncreative. Any suggestions? I feel poised to begin the race, but I'm glued to the starting blocks. 7 Comments

You might want to apply something I read in The Artists Way: "Leap and the net will appear." Also, "I'll provide the quantity and God will provide the quality." In other words, just _do_ stuff, and don't worry about the quality. Just worry that it gets done. Do that enough, and the quality will creep in. Picasso was brilliant, yes, but he made gazillions of paintings that, in his own words, were "crap." But he kept plugging away, and created some of the 20th Century's best artworks. There's a lesson there: keep going! It's kind of like what Yoda said: "Do or do not. There is no try." » POSTED IN:
