I research and research a ton before anything gets started.<BR/><BR/>I always feel better doing the "90% Rule." Actually, my I perform my best when it's 80:20! Think about a bowl of noodles: the first 80% is easy to eat; the last 20% is much harder to capture! Those last few noodles are always evading being eaten by sticking to the side of the bowl with determination... Well, not the best analogy, but you get what I mean!<BR/><BR/>Another thing that helps me is, like you, to just jump in. I call it "jumping in the middle." Of course when I do this, I haven't done as much research as I would like. Ultimately, however, I feel less stressed when I see the end result really isn't so bad (and with A LOT less stress.)<BR/><BR/>Finally, it helps me if I use different vocabulary for all the things I have to do. I try to say, "Oh! I get to clean my closet today," rather than "Crap! I HAVE TO do X, Y, or Z."<BR/><BR/>Said with some enthusiasm, it really does take away some of my need to start off perfectly.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
