Have you ever wondered why you make plans but end up not executing them? Why there's always a new plan entirely when ever you start exercuiting the previous one making the previous one look useless.
This constant cycle of plan changing can keep you stagnant with overthinking and never doing anything, because they have fall into the trap of too many ideas.
How did they fall into this trap of too many ideas?
Being afraid that they will fail, they don't want to lose anything, they always imagine if they fail and end up being at a worst place than where they are, this believe makes them comfortable with their current situation. I read this somewhere
"Nothing can be earn without losing even heaven demands death".
Another one is search of perfections, trying to be perfect is one of the worst ways of killing yourself with too many ideas. Before having anything done more drafts will be done, and as engineers do believe that nothing can be ideal, there's always losses, so room for loses must always be there and 100% perfection should never be part of the plan.
Too much thinking ends up destroying focus. When your mind is filled with unfinished ideas, you lose focus on the little task you have currently to be done.
Too many ideas syndrome causes wasted time, as precious as time is, instead of pursuing on a particular idea, you are thinking about different ideas without being able to deliver one or even give a better definition of one. This also leads to missed opportunity making thr person to miss the opportunity of getting better on a particular task and achieving huge success with one.
Too many ideas causes low confidence, regrets and overwhelmed. Imagine trying to execute a task and in thr process of executing the task , you end up getting different task like 50 new task, it will make you feel that can't do it, sometimes the believe of you not good at anything comes in, this makes you feel stuck and ends up regretting about your life.
People struggle to make something new because they are afraid to fail, they are trying hard to be perfect and too much thinking, this cycle has continue everytime in their life that they change plans every they they encounter any difficulties.
This too many ideas waste too many times instead of pursuing one better goal, you end up trying to do everything at the same time.
To overcome this, you must learn how to list out task and execute them one after thr other, being consistent and knowing too well that your actions can never be 10%, there's always room for errors and corrections.
Success is when you stop chasing every idea that comes to your mind and rather select one and commit your energy, time and thr little resources to complete it.
