>>it's the thinking before doing that's often the
>>hard part [regardless of subject or context].
having said that, it's sometimes just as troublesome the other way,
and indeed i've often been tempted not to do something because i could think
of any number of reasons why it might not be satisfactory; but in
practice if i overcame my qualms it worked very well, or at least
after experiment it could be refined to work very well.
