Beware of Procrastal Learning

Procrastal learning is a secret form of procrastination where we spend too much time acquiring knowledge instead of taking action. It could be going down a rabbit hole of TED Talks, pursuing endless certifications, or constantly seeking more information. While learning is valuable, it should serve a purpose and be followed by concrete steps towards implementation. To combat procrastal learning, set boundaries on your learning and recognize when you have enough information to start taking action.
