An idea I think everyone should know..

The "Do Something" principle from The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson

If you're feeling stuck on a problem or procrastinating, just do something.

Stop waiting for motivation to help you act.

Instead, focus on acting without fear of failure.

When you reframe taking action as a success then it becomes easier to start because you've already won.

An easy win builds confidence which can inspire you to keep taking action.

This idea is something I wish I knew as a new PCN pharmacist.

As pharmacists we often focus on trying to find the right answer.

But in primary care there is no right answer. Just a lot of possible answers.

When I first started I would stress over finding the perfect solution.

But now I understand there are many possible solutions.

So whenever I feel stuck, I just remember the "Do Something" principle and start working towards a solution.

Eventually I start to discover more ideas and a better solution as I keep taking action.

The next time you're feeling stuck, just remember the "Do Something" principle.
