I researched myself into a corner

Having nomaded around the globe for more than a decade, I needed a base.

I spent months trying to figure out where to live.

I wanted a place with reasonable taxes, some land and temperate climates. A place that actually felt like mine, where I could hang my hat.

So I opened a spreadsheet and started comparing cost of living, property prices, visa requirements, and climate data across a dozen countries until my notes had notes.

It felt productive, like I was being clever about a big decision.

After a few months, I was no closer to an answer. Every new piece of information added another reason to keep thinking instead of doing.

I was planning my way around a decision I was scared to actually make.

So I finally said screw it and booked flights. I went to live in Tallinn, Estonia, for a few months, then Bulgaria, and I talked to people who actually lived in the places I’d been considering from behind my screen.

I walked the streets, ate the food, and felt what it was like to wake up there on a Tuesday morning with nowhere to be.

Within weeks, I had a real sense of my main country contenders.

Procrastination loves a good disguise.

It looks like planning, researching, and getting your ducks in a row, and the whole time you’re standing still, convinced you’re moving.

The cure starts with knowing you’re procrastinating in the first place.
