    The difficulty of getting started

    Oh boy has it been a while since I’ve last posted on this blog. I originally wanted to use this as a platform to improve my writing and the way I convey ideas but it truly is difficult prioritizing this and being motivated enough to write a post.

    To say that a lot has happened since I last posted on here would be an enormous understatement. I hope I’ll be able to regularly write into the rest of 2025 (Famous last words? I hope not).

    But going back on the topic of starting things being difficult, I believe it is a conundrum which applies to many aspects of life. I wouldn’t call myself a perfectionist but I sure always try to do my research as much as possible before tackling a task, the downside to that is it causes me to be like a deer in headlights, I either unknowingly do something else or I keep pondering until I eventually also end up doing something else.

    The solution to this dilemma? Just doing it. You may think ah, Leo, this is just another typical corny thing everyone says, but I honestly believe it to be true. The best way to learn and progress step by step is sometimes really to just do the thing you wan to do and learn along the way.

    The best example of this would be a project I started that because of the monetary investment I had already made forced me to take action on many things I would have otherwise dwelled on for ages and ages. And just like this blog, because I want to write a large content piece on my travel or a life experience the thought of it being daunting and not being perfect demotivates me from writing anything at all.

    Anyhow, I’ll put this under one of my random rambling categories, and as with any of my other blog posts I hope it will help a stranger along the way.

    Cheers,

    Leo
