6 powerful “look into” verbs (+ 1 to avoid)

43 Folders: "David captures how any thing we want to accomplish in this world eventually has to manifest itself in an intentional physical activity. Seemingly over-huge super-projects like “World Peace,” “Cancer Cure,” or “Find Mutually Satisfying Vehicle for Jim Belushi” all still come down to physical actions, such as picking up a phone or typing an email."

Ack! The decision. I find that I am able to research until the cows come home, and never make a decision. I think that in this information saturated-age in which we live, it is increasingly difficult to be able to pinpoint a correct decision. I like the steps to get started, though. My husband is a project-procrastinator of the nth degree, and his response is often, "I just don't know how to start." I have already sent him this article, so from now on he has no excuse. I also think that this article points to the reality that you can never accomplish any project unless you make the first action, no matter how small that might be.

I see a lot of use in these 6 steps for myself. Often I commit myself to a project of task before I know enough about the subject matter. This can become a big problem. It’s hard for me to spend so much time researching a subject as to whether or not to do the project. I often just jump right in to the project half way through the research. This will me very helpful.
