Donna, I suffer from the analysis paralysis bug, if I’m not careful, just like @Chip! A lot of times analysis paralysis comes from not having ALL the data to make a confident decision. I think what analytical people need to understand is that by taking action, you can collect MORE data that will help you continue the analysis process, while at the same time moving you toward your goal.

Chip,

Love the metaphor. It says it just right. Can almost make me taste that amazing smell from oven. Thanks Chip. You also keep up the good work.

Donna –

Can you say Paralysis By Analysis???? That was me for the longest time, so I can absolutely relate to where you are coming from. My background instilled in me the need to be analytical and to make sound decisions & act based on solid analysis. That was all good and helpful up to a point.

That point is when you realize that there is always one more thing you can study, analyze, polish, etc and that ACTIVITY is prohibiting ACTION.

Timing is never perfect, knowledge is never complete and you can always add one more chocolate chip to the dough. But you never taste the cookies until they’re out of the oven! (Sorry to toss in a stray metaphor, but my wife is doing something amazing in the oven.)

Thanks for this post Donna – Keep up the good work.

Chip
