How's the end of the week going so far?
( Poll )For discussion:
This post lists several kinds of fear that prevent us from getting started on something:
Fear of Apathy. “I can’t start this until I’m positive the work will never become dull or difficult.”
Fear of Ambiguity. “I can’t start this until I know exactly how it will turn out (as well as the precise method by which I’ll do it).”
Fear of Disconnection. “I can’t start this until I’m totally up-to-date and current on everything.”
Fear of Imperfection. “I can’t start this until I know the end product will be flawless.”
Fear of Incompletion. “I can’t start this until I’m already done with it.”
Fear of Isolation. “I can’t start this until I know making it will never be lonely.”
Fear of Sucking. “I can’t start this until I’m already awesome at it (and know that even horrible people whom I dislike will hail me as a genius).”
Fear of Fear itself. “I can’t start this until I’m guaranteed that making it will never be scary.”
Which, if any, of these apply to you? Which ones are hardest to deal w/when you're getting started on something? How do you overcome them?
