The tendency to favor action over inaction
Well begun is half done
To achieve a goal, this breaks down into two parts: figure out what needs to be done, and actually do it. The main bottleneck for achieving goals is being smart, coming up with the best plan, getting all of the necessarily information. It doesn’t matter how good you are at doing things, if what you’re doing is crap. But it also doesn’t matter how good my plan is if I never act upon it.
It doesn’t even matter if I do make the wrong or imperfect choice in all of the day-to-day mundanity. What matters is that, when that one golden opportunity comes along, I am the kind of person who will take it. And ask yourself not “what is the right decision” but rather “which decision will get me closer to the kind of person I want to be”.
