Procrastination often manifests as "planning mode," which halts progress. Five common symptoms include reading too much without action, endless research, perfecting business plans, obsessing over tools and tech, and waiting for the perfect time to start. To overcome these, choose one relevant book chapter and act on it, limit research to a 30-minute brainstorm with three actionable steps, get customer feedback instead of rewriting plans, prioritize tasks without obsessing over tools, and start small immediately. The goal is to shift from planning to consistent action, as success comes from progress, not perfection.

Im guilty of perfecting my plans forever and never actually starting. I always feel like if I just tweak my business plan a little more or wait until the "perfect" time, everything will magically fall into place. It never does.
