Gary Vaynerchuk offers a dark but hilarious bit of advice when asked how to stop thinking and do.
"You're gonna die - so do something about it."
Create a business plan, of course, but how much detail in your SWAT analysis do you need before you can cold call? Plan an outline for your next article, but how many main points do you need to write an intro? You could listen to Coldplay all day and pine over your crush, or you could save yourself the time and ask him or her out.
You're going to die someday.
Get out of your head and do something.
