Getting past efficiency

I faced a lot of days where I had this feeling and desire to drive forward and make an impact yet didn’t know exactly what to do and allowed that to create analysis paralysis. Have you ever caught yourself in that situation? I didn’t want to do something that wasn’t efficient or that I might have to erase and start over. I was the person who felt they shouldn’t write something until they were sure on it because any mistake would mean having to cleanly rewrite the whole thing or feeling that it wasn’t perfect enough. One day, I heard advice that has helped me be more concerned with taking action earlier on in a process where in the past I planned and tried to figure out the most efficient way before moving forward. That advice centered on the idea that some projects, businesses, activities are going to be innately inefficient to start and could actually help build skill, resiliency, and efficiency in the future and most importantly growth, even be it slow at first. Efficiency will develop as long as action is taken. Efficiency without action is as worthless as 100% inefficient action. Neither all efficiency with no action nor all action with no efficiency will get you far, but a little of one with a lot of the other will get you moving. And, with focused effort, that movement will develop both further action and increasing efficiency.
