Action Before Talk

By Joran
12 Aug 2008

Here are at least two problems with talk of action preceding action itself:

Firstly, once you've talked, you have to follow through with action, or risk falling into the "talk, no action" camp. Secondly, once you've talked, there's less incentive to act because there's less to look forward to talking about upon completion. The show-and-tell reward is diminished.

Far better to do first and talk later. You get to change your idea of what you want to do along the way without having to apologize to or disappoint anyone. You get to look forward to talking about it once you're done. You get to be the person who's always getting stuff done. Ironically you become that somebody who always does what they said they would.
