A person describes getting stuck in endless information consumption, calling it mental obesity. The gap between what you know and what you do grows wider. The fix: stop researching, commit to one thing, take small steps, and actually do the work instead of planning it.

Chapters

You're stuck in research mode, addicted to consuming more and more information. It's causing the gap between your knowledge and action to widen. But without action, you won't achieve your goals. It's like a form of mental obesity where your brain has consumed to excess, leaving you with too many options, decision fatigue, and feeling overwhelmed. You become stuck and unable to get yourself moving, resorting to even more consumption adding to the excess spiral. To break this cycle, you must decide, then commit to replacing the consumption with action. Take baby steps to ease yourself in and show compassion to yourself by reducing expectation. Plot a sustainable roadmap and over time you will restore the balance and start hitting your goals.
