Episode 189: That's How You Roll When You're a Lobster
TOPIC: Starting the stuff we haven't started.
This week—after some entertaining random talk and a handful of hardware and software recommendations—Dan and Merlin dive back into a familiar evergreen topic: why is it so hard to get started with a project? And, just as importantly, what can we learn from that persistent difficulty?
In a nut? Just start trying to suck more regularly.

Listener-submitted suggestions for this week's episode.
"—Hypocrite lecteur,—mon semblable,—mon frère!"
Merlin Mann talks about the process of doing creative work, and particularly how to abandon the quest for perfection, get off your butt and get started.
Situation awareness is the perception of environmental elements with respect to time and/or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time, or some other variable, such as a predetermined event. It is also a field of study concerned with perception of the environment critical to decision-makers in complex, dynamic areas from aviation, air traffic control, ship navigation, power plant operations, military command and control, and emergency services such as fire fighting and policing
Resource leveling as defined by PMBOK is a (project management) "technique in which start and finish dates are adjusted based on resource constraints with the goal of balancing demand for resources with the available supply".
Merlin's pick for the podcast you should already be listening to and obsessing over.
Merlin's provisional candidate for the best episode of The Flop House to start with.
