Don’t Let “I Don’t Know How To Do This” Stop You In Your Tracks
You don’t have to know all the perfect answers before you start
I have a new consulting client. Well, one that I’ve worked with before. I enjoy working with the management team. And its a project like many others that I have done in the past.
My first deadline is a few weeks away. Plenty of time. But I know that I need to get started. I know that it is a busy time of year. I have other work projects, and writing, and family life to juggle. And I am not typically a procrastinator.
But I found myself putting off this project all week last week. I had a sense of dread about it. I couldn’t figure out why. But I found every excuse in the book. I found something else to do with every minute that I had planned to work on this project.
And I realized, it was because I kept having the same thought:
I don’t know how to do this.
The thought came out of no where. And stopped me in my tracks for several days. Until I identified it.
Confidence is a funny thing.
It comes and goes. And its ebb and flow is unrelated to the circumstances around us.
