This is Part 3 in the series of posts titled: “How To Stop Procrastination and
Analysis Paralysis.” Today, we will find out how to deal with over analyzing
and being paralyzed as a result. Also, we will discuss how to deal with
information overload.

A) Its very easy to start over analyzing when there is an information
overload and you know “too much” or simply have too much information
at your disposal. The Internet is full of information about anything
and if you concentrate on accumulating more and more of it without
consuming and actually putting it to use, you will soon get
overwhelmed and might not even read or otherwise consume any of it.

The end result in this case would be: Time Lost… None, or Little
Information Gained… No real results…

OR

You learn all kinds of wonderful things that you can do without
applying it and start building your business in your mind instead of
online… The more you learn, the bigger and better your imaginary
business becomes, but the problem is that you can’t material profit
from an imaginary business, can you?

As a result of having an information overload, you develop signs of
Analysis Paralysis either you have too much information (ebooks,
courses, video training, etc.) and don’t know where to start
consuming it or you have learned a lot of information (’too much’)
and want to make sure everything is done right and according to what
you already know.

Most of the time, you just need to ACT, and the faster you act, the
faster you are going to get the results. The faster you get the
results, the sooner you know if you should continue doing it.

Scary Point: You see… you might be planning and planning to do
something that doesn’t really work anymore. Buy the time you plan out
every single piece and analyze every inch of that decision, that
tactic or strategy might not even work for you or simply past the
opportunity threshold.

“The Faster You Fail, The Sooner You Will Succeed” (more on this in
later posts)

There are TWO mindsets that you can adapt in order to overcome
Analysis Paralysis and Information Overload issues.

1. You Don’t Have To Get It Right, You Simply Have To Get It Going.

In other words, you don’t have to be perfect the first time. It is
important to get something rolling by getting the major pieces that
are essential and you can always come back to fix the small things
and tweak things.

This is extremely important on the Internet, considering how fast
things move, happen and change online.

Don’t sweat the small stuff, most of the time, it can be fixed faster
than you think.

2. Ready! Fire! Aim!

No, I didn’t get it wrong, this is the fast track version…

This is another Anti Analysis Paralysis mindset that you can adopt
and it is similar to the previous one.

Aiming in this case would be analyzing, but you want to Fire first.
Firing in this case would be getting something implemented and
getting some action (visitors, sales, comments, clicks, etc.). As
soon as you get some action and some results, then you can analyze,
plan, and decide if it makes sense continuing doing the same thing,
varying something to get different results, or completely abandoning
the idea and moving on to the next idea.

These two mindsets should be enough for you to stop over analyzing
and Analysis Paralysis. There is a short metaphor that I would like
to share with you to better illustrate the mindsets mentioned above
and general antidote for procrastination and Analysis Paralysis.

Look for the metaphor in the next post from this series titled:
“How To Stop Procrastination And Analysis Paralysis.”
