Besides guzzling down a gallon of Red Bull (caffeine is addictive and bad for you for the long haul mmmkay?), I found these anti-procrastination tips very helpful.

In particular, Analysis paralysis is a big problem among webmasters. Many of us confuse thinking/researching a problem as DOING something about it. Doing means action. Of course, it must well thought action. However, putting all the effort in analysis or worse, in PLANNING, really just pushes the arrival of results further and further in the future. Besides… people don’t hit a homerun at their first swing. It takes some setbacks, finetuning, adjustments, modification, and constant tracking to get going. This is true whether you run a tube site, an adsense-centric minisite, or a content membership site. What slows down results is getting stuck at the preliminary stages–planning, research, and analysis.

In this resource article, the author talks about procrastination inherent in trying to “perfect” things.

Rather than see faults, look at what is there.

Perhaps it is because I started out as an IT-geek, a Mr Fixit of the computer world, I see the world as broken systems that I have to fix. My brain is wired to see the problems rather than the good. Instead of feeling pleasure in accomplishments, my neurons get tangled over what I perceive as missing.

This can be a good thing of course, we all know people who are the other way round and who deliver too early, bodge and fudge, and who really ought to take more care. But that doesn’t help us “perfection seekers” so we need some coping mechanishms

The key is focusing on delivery rather than endlessly polishing. Get version one done and delivered. You can always release a version 2, 3, or whatever. But your priority should be to get the first complete and out of the door.
