You know, I have spent an appalling portion of the last 20-odd years
in perpetual analysis paralysis, with a backlog of personal-hack
projects that I've wanted to do, only a very small percentage of
which I've ever even managed to start (beyond making copious notes,
etc.) much less finish.
I found this somewhat inspirational, particularly the tagline;
whether I'll manage to apply it this year at all remains to be seen:

The money shot:
"Aahhh a new project has been born. Let’s open up MS Word and fill in
our Prince 2 Project template. Herein we can properly plan for all
things we need to be doing and all risks and… Neh, just kidding!
Let’s open up that bottle of wine and… just fucking build it!™"

PS - a now, what, 20-odd year vi man, and over the 40 hump, my New
Year's resolution is... drum roll... learn emacs! ;-) Whee! That
should keep me from accomplishing anything. Again. (The last time I
tried, back in, oh, '89, I spent more time fucking with emacs Lisp
MUD clients than actually doing anything productive. We'll see where
that leads this time...)
