Beat Procrastination

Knowledge deepens procrastination.

Hear me out! The more you know, the deeper you think. The deeper you think, the more likely you are to overthink. And overthinking fuels procrastination. Sometimes I wish I knew less : ignorance does feel like bliss. But when it’s your craft or your curiosity, you do know more. So how do you escape the overthinking trap?

Here’s what helps me, borrowed from the product world.

Pick one metric that moves the needle.
That’s it. One simple rule.

Take any area of life, it works.
Say, weight loss. YouTube will throw a thousand variables at you. But one simple focus “BMI” can anchor your actions. Height is constant. Weight is what you control. Yes, it doesn’t capture muscle mass or fat distribution, but for someone with a BMI of 35+, those details are noise. The ROI on health is exponential when you focus on weight.

People argue: “But I can lose weight in silly ways.” Sure. Then do it. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Most of us break compounding and skip progressive overload. Without both, nothing changes.
So: pick BMI 25. Chase it. One number. One rule.

Same applies to AI.
It’s overwhelming. Vast.
We’re all beginners.

Here’s a simple rule:
Spend 45 minutes a day.
Learn anything. Just show up. That’s it. What you learn doesn’t matter right now—just keep the reps going.

Start anywhere. Let knowledge guide you, not stall you.
In a world where intelligence is a commodity, agency is your edge.

Just do it.

Overthinking freezes. Action frees.

If knowledge becomes a curse, it’s not helping you.
Stop wondering how to learn AI. start learning.
Stop over-researching weight loss. eat better, move more, sleep deeper.

You already know enough.

More thinking won’t help.
Doing will.
