Why do we struggle to start the things we care about? | Episode 02

Episode 2

Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 12:47

Starting sounds simple, but it rarely feels that way.

In this episode of The Imperfect Designer, I explore why we struggle to begin, even when the thing in front of us might actually matters to us. The projects we care about. The ideas we’ve been thinking about for a while. The things we want to do but keep putting off.

I talk about procrastination, overthinking, and the pressure to get things “right” before we even start. How perfectionism can quietly keep us stuck, and why not starting often isn’t about laziness at all.

This is a reflection on overthinking, avoidance, and what it really takes to begin, even if it’s just a small step.
