People are not held back by difficulties, but by ambiguity!

Old Ma’s words here are very interesting—profoundly enlightening.
Recently, I’ve also encountered some things. Because I truly felt they were quite ambiguous, I didn’t deal with them in time. But all of these things occupy memory in my mind, and when I’m doing many other tasks, they will unintentionally pop up and interfere with normal work.
I think a person’s brain is actually like a computer.
If there are a few small tasks that have been left unhandled for a while, they may not seem especially important. But because they keep occupying your memory, it becomes very exhausting and you get easily fatigued—so it’s quite troublesome.
So when I see this part, there is still some profound enlightenment. Many times, I think I’m procrastinating, but actually I just haven’t thought the matter through clearly.
What is precision and clarity?
① Precise goals (what exactly do I want?)
② Precise end conditions (when does it count as finished?)
③ Precise action path (what is the next step?)
When you’re making decisions and the state is: goals are vague + no deadline + no contingency plan, our brain can only enter one mode: procrastination + anxiety + continuously occupying mental space.
That is, the procrastination and fear caused by insufficient precision, as Musk said.
So procrastination isn’t the problem—ambiguity is. Everything that can’t move forward in essence is because it hasn’t been defined clearly.
Action power = precise goals + precise obstacles + precise triggers.
To solve this problem, I don’t think you need to be perfectly precise. You only need to be “precisely enough.” So today I decided to set myself a simple rule: I don’t pursue optimization—I pursue closure.
As long as it meets the “good enough” standard, first make a decision that can be rolled back, and shut this issue off in your brain to avoid excessive mental churn.
After all, procrastination isn’t the problem; ambiguity is. Everything that can’t be advanced in essence is because it hasn’t been defined clearly. I need to first solve the ambiguity itself, and then solve the problem.
