Analysis Paralysis

Do you find yourself hesitating before publishing your posts? It's quite common actually, but next time you find yourself in this position I want you to hear my voice in your head...

Just. Push. Publish!

I get it. At point of publishing you suddenly doubt yourself. You begin to question whether you are worthy of writing on this subject, or whether you may have made some mistakes, or whether anyone would want to read what you have to say, etc.

Just. Push. Publish!

It's true. There might be others with more experience who are, or could be, writing about this subject. Good old imposter syndrome! But, not one other person on this planet has your unique perspective, and that's a valuable thing. Your unique take. It's something to value. It's a gift and you shouldn't hold it back!

Just. Push. Publish!

It's true. You might have made mistakes. We all do that. but it's not a reason to hold your work back. If you find you've made a mistake after you've published, fixed it and move on. If it's a simple thing like a typo, just update and forget about it. If you've made a technical error that needs to be highlighted, do exactly that. Put an amendment notice on the post for anyone who might have read the original. Then move on.

Just. Push. Publish!

It's true. No one might be interested in what you've written about. Actually most people won't be interested. That's perfectly ok. You're only interested in servicing the people who are interested. Funny about that! We can't be all things to all people. If you felt it was important enough in the first place to write about at least you're interested. and that might just have to be enough. But, odds are, if you're interested others will be too. That's why I always say write for yourself first.

Just. Push. Publish!

In the end, you are letting fear and doubt get in the way if you are hesitating tp push publish. That over thinking, that over analysing is a form of analysis paralysis. The easiest way to get over it is...

Just. Push. Publish!
