Paralysis by analysis, now that is something I'm familiar with and a close relation Death by PowerPoint, I'm talking about my job here. (I work as an analyst of community safety issues). Interestingly, as someone who spends their working life searching for cause and effect, looking for early warnings of problems ahead, identifying what triggers communities to break down, I rarely analyse my own issues. I don't know if it is fear or laziness that stops me.
