Ask HN: How can I come out from analysis paralysis?

2 pointsby _navaneethanalmost 10 years ago
Recently, I am facing the problem of analysis-paralysis. I could not take the sticky decision to do anything. Interms of learning any technology like Whether to learn android or Golang or Machine learning. I want to learn these things well. But I am not able to be stick continuously. Switching over from one technology to another technology happens frequently.<p>How can i come out of this issue? Any suggestions or feedback?

Quick and probably useless suggestion: Build a product. It&#x27;s hard to learn a language&#x2F;framework&#x2F;technology &quot;just because&quot; -- it&#x27;s much easier when you&#x27;re working on a specific project. (You mentioned Go and Android; combine those two; with Go 1.5 just now being released with solid Android support, that&#x27;s a green field, i.e., there&#x27;s very little that&#x27;s been done in that area and people would be keenly interested in anything you might do.) Pick something and get started, and resign yourself to the fact it means over the next year you&#x27;re going to be acquiring expertise in <i>that</i> and not any of those <i>other</i> enticing technologies. You can&#x27;t learn everything. Sad but true.
