The Collector's Trap

You have 47 saved posts, 12 downloaded courses, 200 bookmarked resources, and a folder of templates you've never opened. You're always gathering information, tools, strategies convinced that the next piece will finally unlock everything. But nothing gets built. Because collecting feels like progress. Saving that post releases the same dopamine as using it. So your brain checks the box and moves on, while your real goals sit untouched. You're not preparing to start. You're hiding from starting. The collection isn't helping you it's protecting you from the risk of actually trying.
