Analysis paralysis

I came across this phrase as I was reading some software development article. Must have been a blog entry. Everything is in blog form these days. The phrase depicts a common scenario where user requirements are gathered and a system designed to death almost. Great big specifications are done but actual code never gets written. Apparently there's a wikipedia entry for it.

Bottom line. At some point, you just have to get on with it. It's all well and good to read about life coping skils, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and transcendental meditation. You can lock yourself away contemplating the purpose of life. Concepts like fairness and justice. The reason for suffering. Only for so long.

I have to start living, as difficult as it is and as unprepared as I feel. Let go. Say little. Think even less. Put down the baggage. The circumspection. Introspection. Lay my deficiencies bare. Take the heat. Feel the heat. Do what I'm here to do. Lord, give me strength.
