I'm curious: what sensations tell you you're not ready? Maybe you feel an emptiness or heaviness somewhere, for instance? One thing I've found is that just noticing how these blocks show up in the body, and maybe breathing a little into the tense places we find, can help them (and us) loosen up. @ Giammarco — I’m glad to hear you’ve found an approach that works for you — I’ve also had the experience that sometimes I need time to unconsciously decide on the next step in a project and taking some time away from it helps that process.

I keep waiting to feel 'ready' but I think I'm probably just going to have to go for it. I’m finding that my biggest challenge is analysis paralysis!

I never heard of some of the methods you mentioned. Quite interesting. One "strategy" that I use consists in having breaks from the main task (software development). For example, I might work 2 weeks only on things like marketing, branding and strategy, and avoid doing any coding. I found out that having this break allows me to clarify a lot of things in my head. By the end of the 2 weeks, I know exactly what is the single most important feature to be developed - and I go for it! Hi Chris, very nice article, thanks for sharing.
