Alfred Adler on Life's Biggest Danger

Welcome to Make Daily! This email contains an idea, reflection, and a simple action you can take on your work today.

Idea 💡

"The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions." — Alfred Adler

Reflection 🤔

I'm here to tell you something no one else will: you've planned enough.

You don't want to believe me, but you you know it's true.  All the strategizing is distraction disguised as action. Planning is dangerous because it feels like you've done something when you haven't at all.

I'm a recovering planaholic myself. The lesson I continue to learn is that the best creators try things and adjust the plan as they go. Non-existent creators plan things and don't try them at all.

Action ✅

You've planned enough. Go do it now.
