Introspection can be a way of avoiding action. The time you spend thinking about how you do things and how you work and what you like and don’t like and why you can’t work on something one way but you can another way would better be spent just doing the thing you were thinking about your relationship to. At the moment I admire people who aren’t introspective and who just do things without caring what anybody thinks, especially themselves.

The above paragraph is a form of introspection too, isn’t it? But since I set out to write something to post online here, it’s also the task itself which is getting done, so therefore I’m just doing the task without thinking about it. How paradoxical.
