A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week. - George S. Patton

I think about this quote a lot. It's so easy to get trapped in analysis paralysis which is really just procrastinating a decision. Like most things, there is a balance. Notice he says 'good' plan, not any plan.

The trick is training yourself to separate out the shit plans from the good plans. Otherwise, you’re violently crossing the Isonzo river for the 9th time and violently dying.

So, don’t be McClellan, but don’t be Cadorna either.
