You know what? This is the exact issue that I've been fighting with for years - getting so keen to get it right that you don't ever get it done. I do a lot of prject management professionally and with alkl the sturctures in place and established procedures it is easy to get up and get going, but starting on a blank piece of paper at home was not so easy even though the project was much simpler.

A few years ago I changed my tack - I needed to extend my house. Inflation was flying and materials were getting shorter. I had no idea how much I would need of what, but I knew I would need bricks, cement, sand and stone.

Guess what? I ordered arbitrary quantities, even before I had a plan drawn up (I knew what it was I basically wanted) and by the time I had finished the project it was the most successful project I have ever managed - albeit a simple one - because it all just happened - as I needed things, I bought them, and as I needed to do things I did them. Not a good method if the project is complex, but by the time I had finished I couldn't believe how quick and successful it was. Why? because I stopped thinking and just started!
