Q&A: I delay every new plan because I am afraid I will fail

The delay is not a lack of ideas. It is a refusal to meet a self that might look average. Starting would mean being seen before the work is polished, and that feels more dangerous than never beginning.

Let a first version be allowed to exist. Competence is built in contact with the task, not in the rehearsal of not failing. The plan does not need to be worthy of you before you touch it.
