Great post Joseph and let's face it, outside of the endless distractions from entertainment, self-development/podcasts/books/courses/programs etc. (although a more productive form of distraction over entertainment) has also become a distraction to many. I have fallen into this trap myself in the past whereby I feel like I just haven't consumed enough information to get started because I see how much is out there and how much I still don't know (biggest lie). This held me back when I was trying to figure things out on my own but when I got into circles that valued doing the thing rather than knowing the thing, everything changed! It's not to say that those things are distractions all the time but when we can't apply what we are learning or use what we are learning to remove the next constraint in our business, then perhaps it might not be the most effective use of our time, attention, energy etc. Please consider this comment as a "productive" dopamine hit for ya! ;)
