Ask HN: How much do you study in order to do/make something?
16 by robinrheem | 16 comments on Hacker News.
I find myself studying too much in order to make something that I want. For example, I want to make a dashboard of some sort. So I start learning about the history of dashboards, state of the art dashboard components, best information to show on dashboards, whether to implement them as a native, mobile, web application, and it keeps on getting deeper and deeper. I just need to build a dashboard! I sort of don't know when to stop because I like studying too much. Feels like I'm in a never ending recursive rabbit hole of rabbit holes. I do tell myself to just "study enough to produce" but I just can't get the right criteria for "enough". I wonder whether this type of behavior is called anything so I could study about it.
