Just Doing

• Originally written on 24th November 2011.

I read a blog post today. That by itself was quite impressive, but that isn’t the reason for this.

The blog post talked quite honestly about worrying before doing. The fact that worrying, instead of just doing, held them back from doing stuff. I feel a bit like that.

Even simple stuff, like writing on this blog, I often worry about. I worry how what I say might be taken, whether it should be public at all, or whether anybody would care. You wouldn’t even believe the amount of posts I’ve scrapped on here since I rejigged it (at least 2).

I wasn’t always like this. I can remember even about a year ago when I just did shit and worried later. I think as I’ve started to run my own business I worry more than ever about how people perceive me.

As I tweet a lot, I’m out there 24 hours a day for people to scrutinise. This makes me think a bit more about the things I do before I do them, and I’ve started thinking I probably shouldn’t.

I think the biggest thing is that I don’t do things because they might not look brilliant, or work brilliant, or do something brilliant. From right now, I’m going to change that.

I’m just going to start doing shit again, and worry about it later.

Starting with this.

UPDATE: Yeah. It didn’t quite work out, that Novl Cuisine thing. One thing at a time and all that.
