Great article. I completely identify with a lot of it, and especially the idea of getting started without ALL the information.

My analytical mind told me I needed to know everything before starting. As you mentioned, that’s impossible.

That’s a great idea!💡 I’ve not made a distinction between input/output time, which can easily allow for too much input and not enough output during a session.

I literally set my pig (or owl) kitchen timer -- I think of it as the Pigodoro Technique :)

Thanks, Mark. Yeah, took me a while to figure out it was just another form of procrastination for me. Well, sometimes. I really do just like to know stuff too. LOL.

I 100% identify with both…. the procrastination disguised as learning…… and the thirst for knowledge.

I do my best to get more learning from experience now though, versus only consumption of information

I've started timing my "input" time during working hours. Helps!
