    Just do something, even if it’s a terrible idea.

    Example: I need to put up this shelf. I’ll get my tools. But first I need to find the right position, measure, make sure it’s level, line up the guide holes…well, before I pick the position, I should check for studs. Where’s the stud finder? Oh, I need a pencil too. And those magic sponges. Do I need to buy more of those? HOLY SHIT, IT’S BEEN TWO HOURS AND I’VE DONE NOTHING?

    Drills hole in wall.

    Ok. Now there’s a big hole in the wall. I need to resolve that before my wife comes home in an hour. That’s motivating. Let’s see if i can cover that with a shelf.
