"Just doing my research"- I can't tell you how many times a day we hear that phrase.
And TO AN EXTENT that's necessary, but I can't tell you how many times we talk to people 5, 10 or more times over the course of years even that are still "researching" things, relatively small purchases, etc.
That's Analysis Paralysis.
The symptoms include too much time READING about something and not any or enough time DOING something.
It's the death knell of today's "prepper."
And it's not just about buying things. It comes into play with darn near anything that's done now a days.
"I'm researching whether or not multicam or ACU is better in my environment, such and such "expert" says multicam is better, but so and so says ACU is best, I'm so confused I'm doing another year of research on it...."
I got a crazy idea- why not just buy a used set of each and go out and TRY for yourself? Got kids? Take them out and let them play and watch them, who can you see better?
Damn, that's a simple solution..... Surely more RESEARCH needs to go into that.....
We have gotten so spoon fed, so dependent on others to THINK for us. Folks, we are in a bad spot.
Yes, if their is a seriously important subject that you need advice on, SEEK IT OUT BY ALL MEANS. Seek actual training in the subject, find what works FOR YOU (ding ding ding, MESSAGE!) and then ACT.
So many of us are missing the last part- ACTION.
Why? Cause the very act of the supposed "research" gives us the FEELING that we are actually DOING something when really we are sitting in park, rev'ing the engine but not putting the car into DRIVE in order to move forward.
So many people are stuck in "park" right now but the engine is rev'ing. Gas is being burned, it sounds cool, the person is behind the wheel turning it left and right....
BUT THEIR IS NO FORWARD MOVEMENT.
A huge thing, like perhaps your very survival will depend on it is this-
Learning to make a flipping decision quickly.
"Oh well wait I will do some research on whether or not I should activate my plans now"- YOUR DEAD, GAME OVER, SORRY YOU LOSE.
No "do overs", your dead. Cause of death- INDECISION.
What decisions have you been putting off? What ACTIONS have you been sitting in park rev'ing the engine over?
