Analysis Paralysis

I have this thing where I overanalyze just about everything. I want to make the best decision, but I am finding that I spend far too much time researching, analyzing, re-researching, re-analyzing, and then trying to make sure what I think is best. In my quest to ensure I’m making the best decision, I somehow make no decision.

What is worse, this analysis paralysis carries guilt. It’s a vicious cycle that requires a remedy. This blog is one of my attempts to stop overanalyzing and start taking action instead. I have read a few books on writing this year, and while I have never thought of myself as a writer and have had no ambitions to be one, I find myself liking the idea of writing more. Do I worry that I am not good at writing? Do I worry no one will read it? Absolutely! But I also fear that I'll regret it if I don’t try that. I don’t want to live with regrets. Which would you rather have? To have tried and found out it’s not for you or years later wonder, “What if?”
