Tired of Measuring

The old adage, “measure twice, cut once” pops into mind today. How frustrating is it for you when you get tired of measuring. The principle behind the adage is preparation is key, yet do you get to a point when you can over prepare? Is there really a thing of analysis paralysis?

I believe the answers to all of the above are yes. Yes, it’s frustrating. Yes, I believe in proper preparation. Yes I believe in analysis paralysis. It’s challenging and frustrating. I’m not really liking the results of my actions. My preparations are lacking. It’s partly my fault, but it’s also learning how to become competent in a newly released tool.

Trial and error is okay, to a point. I’m not willing to yield. I’m not willing to give up and abandon the path I’m on. I may at some point in the future, but that’s not today. Today I will keep pushing forward. I will keep doing what’s needed.

Today, Tuesday, February 7, 2023, I am grateful that:

I’m figuring out what isn’t working. It’s the 10,000 trials of Edison for the light bulb. I’m not in the vicinity of that number, but it sure feels that way at times.

I’m willing to keep working towards a solution. I can see how things will work, but I haven’t gotten it to work. If I can see it, I can make it. I know it will work, I’ve got to get a few more tweaks in place first.

I’m able to settle into my newest routine. I’ve kind of found my routine. My sleeping is adjusted. I’m a bit tired, but nothing debilitating. I can function effectively.

How many times will you measure?

What has to happen before you yield?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
