It is applicable to a situation when a person/team/organization spends too much time analyzing a problem that they are left with too little time to work on the ideas generated by the discussion. I have suffered from this disease myself in the past.
Here are some symptoms of paralysis by analysis
- You spend more time reading blogs about blogging and less time on writing posts for your blogs
- You have not changed your blog theme in the last 3 years because you have been searching for the perfect theme
- You never get time to build links for your blog because you were busy reading articles about how to get links
- You have not sent an email to another blogger asking for link/interview/review because you are not sure if he will read it
Just Do it
