We wait for the "perfect" time to "perfectly" complete our precious projects.

1. But that precious time never comes, so we don't start until some external consequence scares us into action.
2. Then, we start really sucking on the project.
3. Sucking bad.

What we forget:

1. Kicking ass at some project doesn't take XYZ hours.
2. It doesn't take some miracle moment.
3. It doesn't take crafting a nifty plan.
4. It doesn't take being perfect.

What does it take?

Expending a humongous amount of hours sucking.

1. Until you suck less.
2. Then, suck even less.
3. Then, suck even less than that.
4. (and so on.)

That mindset drives you to constantly improve every nook-and-cranny of Project ABC for eternity -- as long as you find it still financially smart to do so.

Just suck less.
