Starting to think the way through imposter syndrome blocking further thought/writing is, "just do it anyway."

Don't know enough? Maybe that's true, but just do it anyway.

Starting to think the way through imposter syndrome blocking further thought/writing is, “just do it anyway.”

Don’t know enough? Maybe that’s true, but just do it anyway. There’s probably no harm, and lots of benefit, in writing up thoughts and getting feedback.

It’s also useful that I’m realizing that this behaviour, and related thoughts such as “this is somebody else’s job; how can I produce anything valuable when they work on it full-time?” or “I don’t know enough to say anything worthy” is a form of imposter syndrome!
