We start making a new song, or reading a new book, or writing a new blog post, and then we sit on it and never go back.
One big part of this procrastination is perfectionism. We never quite finish that new song or new blog post because we don’t think it’s good enough yet.
But the odd paradox to this procrastination is that often you just need to do something and complete it before you can get to that next level in your self development.
