You’ve got to have the perfect plan, right? The one with the best tools, the optimal routine, and maximum efficiency. It has to be out there and you just know you can find it. You can plan your way into it. However, there’s a point at which all of the planning stops being productive and just becomes information overload. You’re not really doing anything, you’re just thinking about doing things. This week, Catherine and Donald go through the “5 Mistakes People Make When Trying to Create Perfect Plans” by Dr. Alice Boyes Ph.D and give you tips on how not to get stuck in the “Overthinkers Paradox”. Learn how to stop thinking and start moving towards your goals. Plus, Catherine wants to know what to put before what, Donald accepts the uselessness of side mirrors, and what MVP really stands for will shock you.
