Execution is making the next necessary decision before inventing a more interesting one.

Projects stall on unappealing decisions, and the mind responds by generating a more interesting question to work on instead. It feels like progress, since you are genuinely thinking hard, but the necessary decision remains untouched and the project remains stopped. The interesting question was almost certainly a way of not making this one.

Identify the boring decision you have been circling. Make it, imperfectly, today. Interesting problems will still be there, and they were partly a way of avoiding this one.
