This is a crosspost from True Generalist. I’m sharing it here because I’m particularly happy with it, and I think it can stand on its own as a productivity post—not strictly about being a generalist.

Be Incorporated is about a certain kind of procrastination; I call it “over-managing.” It’s when you know what you should be working on at a given time, but instead of doing the work, you continue to deliberate over big-picture / planning decisions. As productive individuals, we have to be good Managers, but we also need to be able to call the plan “good enough” and be the Employee.
